Job description

Brandt is looking for a dynamic and results-driven Category Manager- Merchandising to join our growing marketing and merchandising team. This position plays a critical role in owning and driving the full category lifecycle — from product onboarding and assortment strategy to pricing, vendor management, and promotional execution — all with a focus on aligning in-store presence with Brandt's strategic vision.

Duties and Responsibilities

Category Management & Strategy :

  • Own the category from end-to-end : feedback gathering, product selection, supplier negotiation, and performance tracking.
  • Develop, refine, and execute Good-Better-Best strategies where applicable.
  • Identify market gaps and opportunities, with a focus on private label product development.
  • Monitor SKU performance, vendor scorecards, and category health across all regions and locations.

In-Store Merchandising & Brand Presence :

  • Provide store-level merchandising direction including planograms, end-cap strategies, and aisle layout.
  • Guide in-store product placement to drive conversion, improve traffic flow, and elevate customer experience.
  • Oversee visual presentation, POP (Point-of-Purchase) materials, signage, and in-store branding execution.
  • Collaborate with store teams and regional leaders to ensure consistent execution of merchandising standards.
  • Promotional Planning & Execution :

  • Work with Marketing Account Managers to plan annual and seasonal promotional calendars.
  • Lead the development of promotions, SPIFF programs, and in-store contests to support category growth.
  • Deliver complete creative briefs and maintain adherence to timelines for marketing asset development.
  • Vendor & Inventory Management :

  • Source and onboard new suppliers with focus on margin improvement and supply chain reliability.
  • Collaborate with supply chain to manage stock levels, especially for seasonal and long-lead items.
  • Participate in vendor negotiations, rebate programs, and strategic planning sessions.
  • Data & Performance Analysis :

  • Track and report category sales, margin performance, inventory turns, and customer demand trends.
  • Partner with analytics and finance teams to build reporting dashboards.
  • Use market research and field feedback to inform assortment strategy and pricing decisions.
  • Visiting field branches is a necessary responsibility. This role includes in-store merchandising standards and working with marketing on other in-store experience and POP needs. This position is expected to be in the field 20% of the time, and the office 80% of the time working on their category and key responsibilities. Other travel to trade-shows may be required as the business unit grows.
