About This Opportunity

Merchandising is a critical function of any product engine and at Solo Stove it’s no different. It begins and ends with the consumer as we continually strive to bring exciting and innovative products to them.

As the Merchant for Solo Stove, your role is to apply merchandising principles, to develop profitable Consumer Right Assortments (CRA’s) that deliver the right product, at the right place, at the right price, at the right time, and in the right quantity. You’ll have a proven ability to understand the consumer, and most importantly their needs. An ability to recognize trends, capitalize as appropriate, and see beyond to identify “what’s next”.

You are highly analytical, but also creative, and have the ability to blend the art with the science of Merchandising. As such, you will be successful in working cross functionally with the teams to champion the Solo Stove experience for the brand and bring cross-merchandising to life. You will be an integral part of the Go-To-Market process, delivering presentations, strategies, tools, and guidelines that will help drive the CRA’s, in conjunction with Sales, to our accounts, and the consumer.

The opportunity to help create and drive merchandising excellence is waiting for you here at Solo Stove.

What You Can Expect To Work On
