Job description

Visual Merchandising Specialist (on-site Pelham, AL)

Every showroom, every floor reset, every flagship display tells a story, and someone has to make sure it's telling the right one, every time. As our Visual Merchandising Specialist, you'll own that story across Retail and Wholesale: building the planograms, training the field, and keeping our Pelham flagship and Atlanta showroom looking exactly the way the brand demands. This is a role for someone who's just as comfortable building a presentation deck as they are climbing a ladder to style a vignette an hour before doors open. If you've got an eye for detail and a drive to own a space from concept to execution, we'd love to hear from you.
