Visual Merchandiser

A Visual Merchandiser is needed in Calvinia. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Northern Cape operation.

The Role

This Visual Merchandiser role has been briefed against a clear set of outcomes for Calvinia. The successful candidate will work alongside an established team and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the retail jobs pipeline across Northern Cape.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the retail jobs team in Northern Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the retail jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Calvinia much easier.
