The job behind the title
Give this work a clear owner.
Merchandising errors appear when a collection changes but its banner, offer terms or linked products do not. Teams need a clear map of the planned customer experience and the checks required to publish it.
Responsibilities
What your merchandising operations assistant can take on.
We shape these responsibilities around your systems, priorities and decision permissions.
Coordinate promotional details
Prepare the agreed labels, placements and offer references, checking that the promotion's dates and conditions match the supporting campaign materials.
Check customer pathways
Review category pages, promotional links and selected product destinations so shoppers reach the assortment and information intended by the merchandising brief.
Track releases and reversions
Manage authorized scheduled changes and their end-state instructions, recording what went live and which elements need removal or restoration afterward.

Illustrative workflow
See the role in practice.
An example of how the work could run, tailored during onboarding. This is not a customer case study.
A seasonal collection is scheduled alongside a promotional banner. Two featured products have changed availability, and the banner still links to a collection from the previous campaign.
The assistant checks the approved assortment, updates the proposed collection and prepares the corrected destination link, then presents the remaining availability decisions to the merchandising owner.
The suggested substitute product is outside the approved promotion. The assistant asks the owner to confirm its inclusion before changing the offer presentation or implying the discount applies.

Before you get started
Questions about this role.
Can it make product selection decisions?
The role can prepare recommendations and apply the merchandising rules you authorize. Your team decides which assortment, substitution and promotional decisions it may make directly and which require a buyer or merchandising owner's review.
How are temporary promotions handled?
The process records both the launch instructions and what should happen when the promotion ends. That includes banners, collection membership, labels and links, so temporary changes do not remain unintentionally after the campaign.
Can it coordinate with marketing and catalog teams?
The role can connect the merchandising brief to the relevant campaign and product records. It identifies dependencies and routes questions to the right owner rather than changing product claims or offer terms without authorization.
