We're looking for a creative, organized, and meticulous Visual Merchandising Assistant to join our team!

Your work will take you between our head office and all three store locations.

We're looking for someone who loves the creative side of merchandising and enjoys making a plan, getting organized, and following through. You'll bring visual merchandising experience and a strong eye for detail, along with a willingness to learn, try things, and take feedback.

See How to Apply below. Key Responsibilities 1. Planning & Preparation Work with the Buying & Visual Merchandising Manager to prepare for floor sets, collection launches, promotions, window installations, and in-store events. Review the plan together, ask questions, and make sure you understand the direction, timing, and details before getting started. Gather and organize product, props, signage, fixtures, and materials ahead of installation day. Let us know early if something is missing or needs more time. 2. Styling & Display Execution Bring collection stories and visual direction to life across tables, shelves, fixtures, windows, and other display spaces. Style product thoughtfully, paying attention to color, spacing, balance, and how the pieces work together so each display feels cohesive and easy to shop. Help create, assemble, install, and take down displays, paying close attention to materials and finishing touches. See each project through, including setup, cleanup, and photos to help our store teams keep the display looking its best. 3. Visual Upkeep & Communication Visit all three boutiques regularly to keep displays fresh, tidy, and consistent with our visual direction, while making room for each store's own personality. Refresh displays as products sell through, keeping the collection story intact. Notice when something needs a little attention, a repair, or a check-in with the manager. Keep props, signage, fixtures, supplies, and storage spaces organized so we can find what we need and be ready for the next project. Keep the manager and store teams in the loop with progress, questions, and anything that needs attention. Share display changes and any follow-up needed so everyone knows the plan. Share ideas to strengthen displays or run projects more smoothly, and use feedback to keep building your skills.
