About this role

Leading Aerie's merchandising operations in Norwalk means overseeing the visual presentation and inventory strategy that brings the brand's body-positive mission to life on the sales floor. As a Merchandising Team Leader, you'll manage the day-to-day execution of product displays, coordinate with the broader merchandising strategy, and lead a team to ensure the store reflects Aerie's standards for intimates, apparel, activewear, and swim collections. This role bridges visual merchandising and team management, requiring both an eye for presentation and the ability to motivate and direct staff.

The position suits someone with retail or merchandising experience who understands how to translate brand guidelines into compelling store environments and can manage people effectively. You'll need to balance operational details—product placement, inventory flow, seasonal transitions—with leadership responsibilities. Full-time, in-office work at the Norwalk location means consistent presence and availability to your team. Compensation and benefits are competitive within retail, including health coverage, 401(k), paid time off, and other standard benefits, though exact pay depends on your background and experience.
