Visual Merchandiser for one of the largest European sports and lifestyle...

Come join us!

We are looking for a fulltime creative and energized Visual Merchandiser to represent this global top brand in the sports apparel industry. You will have full responsibility for cascading the products and visuals in all stores as well as strengthen the consumer experience the brand conveys. In addition to ensuring top visual displays, you will be the face of the brand towards store staff and their one point of contact in all brand related questions. You get to be the person who knows all about this worldwide market-leading brand. You will also train and support store staff to maintain the displays in between your visits. In addition to what you do out on the field, you will also spend part of your time communicating back to the head of the team with updates, news and needs.

While we are looking for someone with a minimum of two years of experience in visual merchandising, you will not be carrying the responsibility of the visuals alone. You have a European team who provide you with standards and guidelines as well and support you along the way. You will also have the opportunity to participate in an extensive training when starting in the role. The stores and number of visits are pre-defined, but you have the flexibility in planning the timing of your visits.

We expect you to have prior experience in visual merchandising and the creativity required to shine in the role. You are efficient and have an eye for detail. You play by the book, but also have the potential to amend plans when required. You will need to be fluent in Swedish and English to succeed in your daily job.

If this sounds like your next dream job, we want to hear from you by latest 8th of March!
