Visual Merchandiser

Visual Merchandiser (Boutique Style, Creative Freedom)

Note: We are not looking for entry-level applicants. This role is for an experienced Visual Merchandiser who can create boutique-style displays without relying on planograms or step-by-step direction.

Think boutique fashion or home décor… not big box retail.

• Friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic.
• Self-driven and enjoy working hard.
• Talented at creating visually appealing displays in a boutique-style setting.
• A team player who values collaboration.

• Independently design and maintain product displays on walls, tables, and endcaps—without planograms or direction.
• Prioritize and refresh displays based on sales performance, seasons, and special events.
• Ensure displays align with the Firehouse brand and maintain a polished, inviting store image.
• Create and execute seasonal and window displays that captivate customers.
• Modify permanent planograms as needed, incorporating new products or resetting displays—without a pre-set planogram or guidance.
• Create and build gift baskets for the community donation program in addition to gift baskets sold inside the store and online.

• Previous experience in visual merchandising (preferably in boutique, fashion, or home décor stores).
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with a keen understanding of space, balance, and color.
• High attention to detail and the ability to work independently.
• Ability to multitask, engaging with customers while working on displays.
• Outgoing personality with a passion for interacting with customers and starting conversations.
• Regular, consistent attendance, with availability to work flexible hours (including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays).
• Be prepared to show photos or examples of your previous merchandising work (portfolio, photos, or social media links).
• At least one professional reference regarding your merchandising experience is required.

Firehouse Pet Shop is more than just a store—it’s a community hub where pets and people come together. If you’re passionate about pets and visual merchandising, we’d love to see how you can make our store shine!
