Chicago, United States Local Eclectic Full time
About Local Eclectic
Local Eclectic is an 11 year old international e-commerce jewelry brand based in Chicago. We sell jewelry from emerging and independent jewelry designers from across the globe and have a handful of in house brands that we design and manufacture in house. We're a social first brand that has built an authentic community of brand loyalists. We are dedicated to providing a best in class customer experience and offering exceptional, unique and one of a kind products. We are passionate about creating and selling high quality jewelry that is accessible to everyone. At Local Eclectic, we believe that every piece of jewelry is a work of art, a symbol of personal expression, and a connection to something greater; jewelry tells our story. Our mission is to inspire creativity and empower women and this is woven into every aspect of our business

Job Overview:
We are seeking a talented and creative Visual Merchandiser to join our team at Local Eclectic. We are opening our first store in Chicago and this role is crucial in this next phase of Local Eclectic as we transition from being an online-only brand to multiple channels. As a Visual Merchandiser, you will be responsible for creating visually compelling and inspiring displays that showcase our unique jewelry collections and tell captivating stories to enhance the customer shopping experience. The ideal candidate will be creative, organized, and have prior experience working in retail. Your ability to understand our customer's needs and translate that into visual storytelling will help drive sales and elevate the brand's aesthetic.

Key Responsibilities:

Create Inspirational Displays: Design, implement, and maintain eye-catching and cohesive visual displays that highlight the beauty and craftsmanship of our jewelry collections. Your displays should be aligned with seasonal themes, trends, and promotional campaigns. You will need to think outside the box and find creative solutions to bring your display ideas to life by either reaching out to new partners to create the displays or finding ways to create them yourself using unique materials that stand out from traditional jewelry displays and make our jewelry shine

Curate Product Stories: Develop creative "stories" by grouping and arranging jewelry pieces in a way that resonates with our customers. Each display should highlight the collection's uniqueness and inspire customers to make a purchase.

Optimize Product Placement: Ensure that jewelry displays are strategically placed to attract customer attention, promote our most popular products while also respecting space and layout constraints and promoting newly launched products on a weekly and monthly basis.

Collaborate with the Product Team: Work closely with the product, planning, and marketing team to communicate visual merchandising needs and ensure that displays are well-stocked and updated with the latest collections.

Maintain Store Presentation: Keep all store displays and product presentations clean, organized, and up-to-date. Make sure jewelry is well-positioned for optimal visibility and accessibility to customers.

Train retail staff on layout and space organization: Work with the retail team to ensure they are well trained on how the jewelry should be displayed and organized throughout the day.

Understand Customer Preferences: Analyze customer behavior and shopping patterns to determine the most effective ways to display jewelry. Tailor displays to meet customer expectations and shopping habits.

Ensure Consistency with Brand Guidelines: Follow the company's visual merchandising guidelines to maintain consistency in the store's overall aesthetic and reinforce brand identity.

Monitor Inventory Needs: Regularly assess the inventory levels of products displayed and communicate with the planning team to ensure timely restocking of key pieces.

Seasonal and Promotional Displays: Create seasonal, holiday, and promotional window and in-store displays that draw attention and reflect current marketing initiatives. You'll need to be aware of current sales trends to help refresh these displays to maximize sales.

Report and Feedback: Provide feedback on display performance and suggest adjustments to maximize customer engagement and sales. Regularly report on merchandising issues, opportunities, and successes.

Qualifications:
Experience: Previous experience in retail, preferably within the fashion or jewelry industry, with at least 1 year in a visual merchandising role.
Creativity & Design Skills: Strong sense of creativity, attention to detail, and an eye for design. Ability to think outside the box and execute ideas into physical displays.
Organizational Skills: Excellent organizational and time-management skills. Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Customer Focused: Strong understanding of customer behavior and how to create displays that resonate with a variety of shoppers.
Communication Skills: Ability to effectively communicate needs to the product and sales teams and collaborate with different departments.
Physical Requirements: Ability to lift and move display materials, stand for long periods, and set up displays as needed.

Bonus Skills:
  • Knowledge of the jewelry industry or luxury retail environment is a plus.
  • Art background with an ability to create elements of displays
  • Basic photography skills for visual documentation and social media content.
  • Proficiency with design software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite) or retail display tools.
