Overview:

As a Holiday Retail Merchandise Placement Associate, you will be an integral part of bringing the magic of Macy's to life during the fast-paced holiday season.  Associates in this role perform a number of functions that are critical to offering our customers the best experience when they shop in our store.   While all holiday positions require working as part of a team to meet department and store objectives, your individual responsibilities may include placement of new merchandise receipts on the selling floor, moving merchandise to prepare for sales events, pulling merchandise for shipping to customers, and completing price changes.  Retail Merchandise Placement Associates may also assist with clearing out fitting rooms, recover the selling floor by folding and rehanging merchandise, and organizing the selling floor and stock areas.
