About this role

Leading American Eagle's merchandising operations in Dallas, this Associate Manager role sits at the intersection of product strategy and team leadership. You'll oversee the Associate Merchandising Team, translating the brand's design vision and market insights into executable plans while developing and mentoring your direct reports. The position requires someone who can balance analytical rigor—understanding inventory, sales data, and seasonal trends—with the interpersonal skills needed to guide a growing team through a fast-paced retail environment.

This is an in-office, full-time role suited to someone with merchandising or retail operations experience who's ready to step into a people-leadership capacity. You should be comfortable with both the strategic side of product assortment and the tactical execution required to keep operations running smoothly.
