[REMOTE] Director of Merchandising (retail & ecommerce merchandising exp. req.) Description 

Our client, an ecommerce company, is seeking an innovative and strategic Remote Director of Merchandising to add to their Team in the US. With over 50,000 SKUs across a portfolio of brands, each featuring its own website, sales team, and marketplace presence, they are well-established but do not want to be complacent. After streamlining processes and creating a better cost-accounting infrastructure, they are focused on expanding their reach and boosting profitability. To achieve this, they are searching for an innovative merchandising strategist who can leverage the depth and breadth of their branding and product development experience to burst through a more stagnant growth year and lead bottom-line expansion. Someone who can balance acting as the voice of the customer while serving as their in-house subject matter expert on product expansion and optimization. If you can seamlessly pivot between driving revenue growth with operational efficiency and creative forward-thinking, this could be a perfect match. You can put your fingerprints on change and become a pilot, not just a passenger of someone else’s vision. Do not miss your chance to build a legacy with a leadership team who doesn’t just value your opinion, they’ll ask for it.
