Merchandising Management Jobs in California

A Merchandising Manager plays a crucial role in the retail industry, as they are responsible for selecting, ordering, and presenting merchandise that will appeal to the store's target market. They analyze sales data to identify trends, forecast demand, and ascertain the best product mix to maximize sales and profit.
