Merchant Kids & Baby Apparel
Springfield, MO On-site
Salary not listedJobFig found this opening at its original source and checks that it remains available.
About the role
This isn't a replenishment role. It isn't a spreadsheet job. It's a brand-building role for a merchant who obsesses over product, knows the kids customer cold, and believes that great assortments tell a story. We're building something meaningful inside one of America's most iconic retail brands — a kids and baby apparel business that reflects the same quality, intention, and brand conviction that Bass Pro Shops brings to everything it does. We need a merchant who's done this before and wants to own it. Vision Springfield, MO is home to our Basecamp headquarters — one of the most unique retail environments in the world. This is a full-time, on-site role. Enjoy discounts on retail merchandise, our restaurants, world-class resorts and conservation attractions!
What you'll bring
- A merchant first.
- You think in terms of customer, product, and brand before you think in terms of spreadsheets — but you can read a financial plan as fluently as you can read a trend board
- You grew up in specialty — Children's Place, Gap Kids, Carter's, or similar — and you know what it means to build a kids brand with real point of view
- You can move from big-picture brand strategy to SKU-level detail without losing altitude
- You have strong instincts for trend, color, and fit — and the analytical chops to back your decisions with data
- You've developed proprietary product and understand the full development cycle from concept to floor
- You understand OTB management, open-to-buy discipline, and how to partner with planning to build a financially sound assortment
- You lead with conviction, collaborate naturally, and make your team better
- 5+ years in apparel merchandising
- ideally with kids or baby specialty experience
