The Role:

The SnackNation Brands team is on a mission to put the best brands in front of their target audience at the right place, at the right time. And to do that, we’re looking to hire a passionate, experienced Associate Merchandiser to manage the snack curations for the millions of people we reach every month.

The Associate Merchandiser will develop our merchandising strategy and roadmap as we continue to expand into new markets. Reporting to our Merchandiser and working directly with both the Brands and Operations teams, the Associate Merchandiser will create one-of-a-kind curations for SnackNation’s omni-channel shopping experiences. The Associate Merchandiser will assume responsibility for all aspects of our monthly merchandising process, including Bill of Material creation, day-to-day operations and execution, and support long-term strategic initiatives for the Brands team.

This role will be working across many teams, so strong organizational and communication skills are essential. We’re looking for a self-starter who can define a path forward, manage our merchandising campaigns, and ensure success for both our customers and the brands we serve. If our values, our mission, and our vision inspire you the same way they inspire us each and every day, then we cannot wait to meet you.

• Own curation development and management in NetSuite
• Work with our Inventory Managers to monitor volumes and ensure the right product is available for the successful execution of partnerships
• Collaborate with the Brand Marketing team to leverage content and understand all possible opportunities for promotion across all platforms
• Work with our Brand Ops Specialist to develop and deliver the reports necessary for assessing our partner brands and sourcing new ones at market
• Work with the Operations team to identify new ways to optimize inventory and maximize the value of inventory within the context of a world-class customer experience

Who you are:

• Catalyst for change: You share SnackNation’s energy and drive to disrupt the conventional ways of how brands come to market and connects with their future customers.
• Gratitude attitude: You recognize the amazing opportunity we have to work with the best brands and help them become better, all the while working here at this special place we call SnackNation. An attitude of gratitude is at the core of who you are and what you do.
