Fredericksburg, VA - Retail Merchandiser - Flexible Schedule / Part Time

Part-Time Retail Merchandiser (Sell-Through Specialist / Brand Rep)

The Gig:
Franklin Retail Solutions needs a part-time Retail Merchandiser to work some magic in sporting goods stores near you. Your mission? Organize, style, and showcase top-tier brands so customers can't resist them. You'll also be the eyes and ears of the brand, sharing insights to make the shopping experience even better.

Why You'll Love This Job:

• Get paid to make products look awesome
• Make your own schedule
• Work solo

What You'll Do:

• Use our MVP platform (like a secret agent, but for merch) to check projects, schedule visits, and submit reports
• Chat up store managers and staff—make friends, not just contacts
• Follow planograms (a fancy way of saying "make the display look great")
• Snap before-and-after pics to show off your merchandising skills
• Spot what's working and what's not—then tell us

What You Need to Bring:

• Retail or merchandising experience (bonus points if you've styled mannequins like a pro)
• An eye for detail—details matter!
• Strong communication skills (aka, you don't ghost emails)
• A smartphone or tablet for reports & photos
• Reliable transportation to get to stores
• High-speed internet (because dial-up won't cut it)

The Fine Print:
This role is flexible, with store visits typically on weekdays. You'll stay connected with our team remotely while rocking your independent work style.

Sound like your kind of hustle? Hit "Apply Now" and let's make retail better—one display at a time!
