Job description

The next Merchandise Manager at Kohls will inherit a general team that respects Teamwork and is allergic to busywork. This OH role reads like an upgrade — $75,000 - $122,000, temporary hours, 7 years valued, and a path that does not dead-end.

What You'll Bring

• A Kohls mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• The instinct to ask \"what would change your mind?\" before debating
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Comfort steering general conversations toward a decision
