Senior Site Merchandiser

About this role

SwimOutlet.com | Reimagine the Future of E-Commerce

We're not looking for someone to follow the playbook. We're looking for someone who's ready to rewrite it.

At SwimOutlet, we're doing things a little differently.

We believe the future of e-commerce isn't about showing customers more products. It's about understanding them so well that shopping feels effortless, personal, inspiring, and maybe even a little magical.

And we believe AI is about to change everything. Not just how quickly we work, but what's possible.

We're looking for someone who blends the instincts of a merchant, the imagination of a creator, the curiosity of an inventor, and the analytical mind of a strategist.

A creative rebel. A builder. An experimenter. Someone who sees what could be, not just what is.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

The Opportunity: Build What Comes Next

SwimOutlet is the largest online specialty retailer for swimming and water sports in the United States.

We serve competitive swimmers, parents, coaches, teams, fitness enthusiasts, and everyone who loves being in the water.

We have incredible brands, passionate customers, and an opportunity to rethink how people discover, explore, and shop.

That's where you come in.

As our Senior Site Merchandiser, you'll shape the shopping experience across SwimOutlet.com.

But we're not asking you to maintain what exists.

We're inviting you to imagine what doesn't exist yet.

What if a swim parent could find the perfect goggles for their child without knowing anything about goggles?

What if a competitive swimmer discovered the ideal gear before knowing they needed it?

What if AI agents could anticipate customer needs, personalize product discovery, and continuously improve the shopping experience?

What if shopping stopped feeling like searching and started feeling like discovery?

These are the experiences we want you to help create.

Your Superpower: Imagination Meets Execution

We love big ideas. But we love turning them into reality even more. That’s part of the opportunity.

We're looking for someone who wants to discover what's next, build it, learn from it, and make it better.

Someone who believes shopping can be more intelligent, more human, more personal, and a whole lot more inspiring.

Someone who doesn't just see the future of e-commerce. Someone who wants to create it.

• Reinvent product discovery. Rethink navigation, search, filters, recommendations, and the customer journey. Eliminate friction customers have learned to tolerate.

• Make personalization feel personal. Create experiences that understand the difference between a competitive swimmer, a coach, a swim parent, and someone planning a beach vacation.

• Put AI and agents to work. Build intelligent workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and imagine entirely new merchandising capabilities.

• Turn data into discoveries. Uncover insights in customer behavior, shopping patterns, and product performance, then transform those insights into action.

• Experiment relentlessly. Challenge assumptions, test bold ideas, learn quickly, and continuously improve through A/B testing.

• Connect creativity with commerce. Collaborate with Buying, Planning, Marketing, Creative, Product, and Technology to inspire customers and drive results.

• Create loyalty through experience. Make SwimOutlet a destination customers love returning to because shopping feels remarkably easy.

You'll have the freedom to question, explore, create, and build, and the responsibility to turn imagination into results.

We want you to help us imagine more.

What Success Looks Like

A year from now, we want more than a better-merchandised website.

We want intuitive, personalized shopping journeys. Customers discovering the right products with less effort and greater confidence.

AI agents eliminating repetitive work. Bold ideas becoming reality.

Stronger conversion. Greater customer loyalty. And innovations we couldn't have imagined before you joined us.

What You'll Have: The Freedom to Create What's Next

This isn't a role where you'll be handed a playbook and asked to follow it.

You'll have:

• Direct access to leadership. Report directly to our President and Chief Product Officer, with the opportunity to influence the future of SwimOutlet's digital shopping experience.

• No politics. No unnecessary layers. We value great ideas, open conversations, and people who challenge conventional thinking. The best idea wins, regardless of where it comes from.

• Intense collaboration. Work shoulder to shoulder with Buying, Planning, Product, Engineering, Marketing, Creative, and Technology. Big ideas don't happen in silos.

• The freedom to experiment. Challenge assumptions, test bold ideas, learn quickly, and help us discover better ways of doing things.

• AI as your creative accelerator. Explore agents, automation, intelligent personalization, and emerging technologies to build shopping experiences that haven't existed before.

• A meaningful opportunity to make an impact. Help reinvent the shopping journey for one of the largest specialty e-commerce destinations in swimming and water sports.

• Compensation up to $200,000 annually. We're looking for exceptional creativity, intellect, merchandising expertise, and the ability to turn ambitious ideas into measurable results.

What we won't have?

Endless meetings about meetings. Innovation that never gets beyond a presentation. Or a culture where "that's how we've always done it" is considered a good answer.

We believe extraordinary things happen when curious minds, bold ideas, emerging technology, and talented people come together.

Bring your imagination. Bring your intellect. Bring your willingness to challenge what's possible.

We'll bring the opportunity to build something extraordinary.

One Last Thing...

If you've ever looked at an e-commerce website and thought, "There has to be a better way," we want to hear from you.

If you've built something…
