Assistant Merchandise information

What is an assistant merchandise?

Assistant Merchandise professionals, often called Assistant Merchandisers, support the merchandising team in retail or fashion companies. They help with tasks such as tracking inventory, analyzing sales trends, coordinating with suppliers, and preparing reports. Their role is essential in ensuring that the right products are available in the right places at the right times, helping to maximize sales and profitability. They also assist in product selection, pricing, and promotional planning under the guidance of senior merchandisers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an assistant merchandise?

To thrive as an Assistant Merchandise, you need a solid understanding of retail operations, inventory management, and basic merchandising principles, often supported by a degree in business, marketing, or a related field. Familiarity with inventory management systems, point-of-sale (POS) software, and Microsoft Excel is typically required. Attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and effective communication help you collaborate with teams and ensure product accuracy. These skills are crucial for maintaining stock levels, optimizing product displays, and supporting sales goals in a competitive retail environment.

How does an assistant merchandise typically collaborate with buyers and vendors in daily operations?

Assistant Merchandise professionals play a key role in supporting the buying team by maintaining clear communication between buyers and vendors. On a daily basis, they help coordinate order placements, track shipments, and resolve any discrepancies with product deliveries or inventory levels. Close collaboration ensures accurate product availability and timely updates for promotions or seasonal launches. This teamwork helps keep merchandise planning efficient and supports the overall goals of the retail organization.

What is the difference between Assistant Merchandise vs Assistant Buyer?

Assistant Merchandise and Assistant Buyer roles both support the buying and product selection process in retail. While Assistant Merchandise focuses on inventory management, stock levels, and product displays, Assistant Buyers are more involved in selecting and purchasing products. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds and work environments, often overlapping in retail and fashion industries. The main difference lies in their specific responsibilities within the merchandising and buying process.

  • You have a passion for driving sales: As a key LOD (Leader on Duty), you're an expert at driving sales by maximizing Fitting Room and Salesfloor productivity and building guest loyalty through a best-in-class guest experience. You contribute to the overall financial success of the store by analyzing reporting and daily trends to make strategic business decisions. You're the Store Team Leader's right hand in developing short and long-term business plans to drive key KPIs.
  • You're a merchandising innovator: You coach your team to deliver an outstanding guest experience by ensuring your store is always representative of AEO Brand Standards. You ensure your store stays in tip-top shape by #leading day-to-day merchandising, sell-through adjustments and replenishment.

  • You're a people leader: You're all about motivating and inspiring your team through AEO's core values. You're a role-model  leader and you always hold your team accountable to rocking AEO's customer service standards, especially on the Salesfloor and in the Fitting Room.
  • You've got an eye for talent and a love of training: You make it a top priority to recruit and hire strong talent to ensure the store is always staffed to meet business needs. You take pride in training and developing your team to ensure they continue to provide outstanding service to the best of their abilities.
  • You know that teamwork makes the dream work: You know that building a great team requires you to consistently provide ongoing performance feedback through real-time coaching. You make team touchbases, development plans, and performance reviews a priority and you drive associate engagement by celebrating your team's outstanding performance - #winning!
  • You're an operational innovator: You're a natural at executing and innovating daily operational procedures, you support the team in maintaining visual standards throughout every zone in the store, and most importantly, you ensure the Fitting Rooms are always guest-ready and rocking AEO Brand Standards.
  • Integrity is your middle name: You ensure store safety standards are maintained, you're committed to Asset Protection standards, you always adhere to AEO's policies and procedures, and you do the right thing - always.
YOU'D BE GREAT FOR THIS ROLE IF:
  • You love AE and Aerie products!
  • You've led teams in a retail management role previously - #practicemakesperfect!
  • You can multi-task and have attention to detail; priority-setting and time management are your strong suits.
  • You know how to lead and develop teams and have a general understanding of employment law.
  • Business acumen? You've got it!
  • You have flexible availability - you're available to work when the guest shops!
OUR ASSOCIATES LOVE AEO BECAUSE:
  • They work with REAL people - there's nothing like your #AEOFamily.
  • They're given opportunities for development, the chance to learn new skills, and are offered great potential for career advancement.
  • They receive 40% off product at both AE & Aerie year-round (plus additional seasonal discounts with new Floorsets!)
  • They participate in store contests for the chance to win FREE merchandise and other exclusive prizes.
