Job Summary:

Seeking an experienced Visual Merchandising Content & Execution Specialist to translate merchandising strategy, standards, layouts, and visual direction into clear, actionable content for retail field execution. This role will develop and coordinate visual merchandising guides, execution instructions, visual assets, training/support materials, and store-facing communications. The position will also support content delivery to third-party field execution partners, including ThirdChannel. This is a retail visual merchandising execution role, not a general graphic design, store design, architecture, marketing communications, or project management position.

Top Skills Required:

• Experience in visual merchandising, retail communications, content development, merchandising operations, or retail execution.
• Ability to translate strategies, standards, layouts, renders, VMGs, and merchandising direction into clear field-facing execution guidance.

• Experience coordinating digital assets, visual references, presentations, guides, training materials, or similar execution content.
• Strong cross-functional skills and the ability to coordinate inputs from merchandising, design, operations, field teams, and external partners.
• Strong written and visual communication skills with a high level of attention to detail.
• Ability to manage changing priorities and deliver execution-ready content against retail launch/reset timelines.
• Retail merchandising, store operations, or field execution experience strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities:

• Translate VM strategy, standards, resets, layouts, and creative direction into store-ready execution guidance.
• Develop and maintain VM guides, visual references, execution instructions, job aids, presentations, and training/support materials. Coordinate renders, layouts, merchandising assets, and related content for internal and external field execution teams.
• Ensure materials clearly communicate what successful execution looks like in the retail environment.
• Partner with Visual Merchandising, Planning, Design, Retail Operations, Field teams, and external execution partners.
• Manage multiple content deliverables, dependencies, versions, and deadlines aligned to retail launches and resets.
• Incorporate field feedback and execution learnings into future guidance.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience in visual merchandising, retail merchandising, merchandising communications, or retail execution.
• Demonstrated experience converting merchandising or visual direction into field/store-ready execution content.
• Experience creating or managing VM guides, planograms/layouts, execution guides, visual standards, job aids, or comparable materials.
• Ability to interpret renders, layouts, merchandising plans, and visual assets.
• Strong written, visual communication, organizational, and project-management skills.
• Experience working cross-functionally in a retail environment.
• Proficiency with Client PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, and related productivity tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting a multi-location retail organization.
• Experience working with third-party merchandising, field execution, or audit partners.
• Experience supporting store resets, product launches, seasonal merchandising, or VM programs.
• Experience with planograms, space planning, store layouts, VM standards, and training content.
• Experience coordinating multiple creative and merchandising inputs into a single field execution package.
