Aerie - Merchandising Team Leader (Assistant Manager)

Merchandising Team Leader

As the full-time Merchandising Team Leader, you are the Store Team Leader's "go-to" in developing and implementing the Merchandising strategy for the store. Your passion lies in training and coaching your team into great merchants delivering AEO brand Visual standards every day. Through your leadership, your team always nails floorset execution, and rocks merchandising and marketing brand standards. You ensure the store is always "guest ready" through effective replenishment. Most importantly, you represent our company values and bring your REAL self to work every day.

Your responsibilities include driving sales, being a merchandising innovator, leading people, finding talent, working as a team, and innovating operations. Integrity is also a key part of your role.

You'd be great for this role if you love AE and Aerie products, have led teams in a retail management role previously, can multi-task and have attention to detail, know how to lead and develop teams, have business acumen, and have flexible availability.

Our associates love AEO because they work with REAL people, have opportunities for development, receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year-round, and participate in store contests for the chance to win FREE merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
