Merchandising Management Jobs in Minnesota

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. They also work closely with vendors and suppliers to negotiate prices, quantities, and delivery timescales.
