AE - Merchandise Leader (Part-Time)

YOUR ROLE

As the Merchandise Leader, you are the Merchandising Team Leader's right hand in ensuring your store consistently meets AEO Brand Visual Standards. Your expertise lies in executing effective floorsets, marketing, and merchandising updates. You also guarantee the store is always "guest ready" through replenishment. You have a keen attention to detail, are passionate about visual standards, and enjoy collaborating with your team to get the job done. Most importantly, you represent our company values and bring your real self to work every day. Your Responsibilities You have a passion for merchandising: you support driving an outstanding guest experience in partnership with the Merchandising Team Leader by ensuring the store is always representative of AEO Brand Standards. Floorsets are your thing! You drive strong floorset execution by training and coaching the floorset team, setting clear productivity goals, and ensuring all areas of the store are effectively executed to floorset standards—from uppers and bustforms to tables and wardrobe. You are a merchandising innovator: you keep the store in tip‑top shape by owning day‑to‑day merchandising, sell‑through adjustments, and replenishment. You have a keen eye for merchandising opportunities and are always ready to game‑plan with leadership and take action. You have a teamwork mentality: you support the Merchandising Team Leader in ensuring the team understands how to maintain AEO Brand Standards through merchandising, adjustments, and replenishment so the store is always looking fresh. You are a people person: you ensure the merchandising team’s number one priority is always the guest experience. You champion a culture of recognition and love celebrating wins with the team. Integrity is your middle name: you ensure store safety standards are maintained on the sales floor and in the stockroom. You are committed to shrink‑reducing strategies and always adhere to AEO policies and procedures. You'd Be Great For This Role If You love AE and Aerie products. You love organization and have attention to detail; priority setting and time management are your strong suits. You have flexible availability and can work early in the morning, late in the evening, and on weekends. You have strong retail merchandising and visual skills and a history of retail work.
