  • Partner with internal design, marketing, and retail teams, along with outside agencies and vendors
  • Create and test new temporary retail displays, including in-store measurements and material validation
  • Manage vendor contracts, performance, and procurement processes
  • Provide regular updates to stakeholders, including daily and weekly progress reports
  • Track and manage POs, invoices, and overall production budgets

  • 3–4 years of experience in retail displays or in-store marketing production
  • Proven success in vendor selection, cost negotiation, and project bidding
  • Strong understanding of various print formats and substrates (offset digital, offset web, etc.)
  • Highly organized with outstanding attention to detail and quality control
  • Strong critical thinking skills; self-starter with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
