AE - Merchandise Leader (Part-Time)
American Eagle Outfitters Inc.
YOUR ROLE As the Merchandise Leader, you are the Merchandising Team Leader’s right hand in ensuring your store is always rocking AEO Brand Visual Standards. Your expertise lies in executing effective Floorsets, marketing and merchandising updates, and ensuring the store is always "guest ready" through effective replenishment. You have a keen attention to detail, are passionate about visual standards, and love working with your team to #getthejobdone. Most importantly, you represent our company values and bring your real self to work every day.
Your Responsibilities
Support driving an outstanding guest experience in partnership with the Merchandising Team Leader by ensuring the store is always representative of AEO Brand Standards.
Drive killer 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 wardrobers.
Own day-to-day merchandising, sell-through adjustments and replenishment, spotting merchandising opportunities and collaborating with leadership to take action.
Help the team understand how to maintain AEO Brand Standards through merchandising, adjustments and replenishment so the store is always looking fresh.
Ensure the merchandising team’s #1 priority is always the guest experience, champion a culture of recognition, and celebrate wins with the team.
Maintain store safety standards on the sales floor and in the stockroom, support shrink-reducing strategies and adhere to AEO policies and procedures.

You have strong organization, attention to detail, and excel at priority-setting and time management.
You have flexible availability – early mornings, late evenings and weekends.
You possess strong retail merchandising and visual skills and have a history of retail work.
