As a Merchandiser at Pick n Pay, your main role is to make sure that stores look neat, attractive, and well-stocked. You help ensure that customers can easily find the products they want and enjoy shopping in the store.
Merchandisers play a very important role in retail because they directly affect sales and customer experience. When shelves are full, prices are correct, and displays look good, customers are more likely to buy.
This role is well suited for people who enjoy being active, working in a fast-paced environment, and learning how retail stores operate on a daily basis.
One of your key responsibilities will be managing stock. This includes counting stock, recording quantities, unpacking products, and making sure items are placed correctly on shelves. Accurate stock management helps prevent shortages and ensures that popular products are always available.
You will also be responsible for how the store looks. This means creating neat and attractive displays, following store layouts, and setting up signs or promotional materials that catch customers’ attention.
A well-organised and visually appealing store makes shopping easier and more enjoyable for customers.
Merchandisers must ensure that products are displayed correctly and priced accurately. You will check price labels, remove damaged or expired items, and make sure shelves are always tidy and up to standard.
Although this role focuses on merchandising, customer interaction is still important. You may assist customers with product questions, direct them to the right aisle, or help resolve basic complaints and queries.
Good customer service helps build trust and improves the overall shopping experience.
You will work closely with other store staff, including sales teams and management. Teamwork is important to ensure that store goals are met and daily tasks are completed efficiently.
Keeping the store area and storeroom clean and organised is another key part of this role. A clean environment is safer, more professional, and more pleasant for both customers and staff.
To be considered for the Merchandiser position, you must meet the following requirements:
