Job Description

This is a rare shot at rebuilding how merchandising actually runs, and at proving AI belongs in the hands of the person closest to the problem, not just the AI team. We're not hiring someone to write a strategy memo about AI and hand it off.

We're hiring someone who will map the workflow, feel where it breaks, and then sit down and build the thing that fixes it. More About the Opportunity Merchandising at Grove runs on real expertise and too much manual glue.

Buyers chase vendors for the same data, week after week. Marketing launches promotions inventory finds out about too late. Good people spend their time on work a workflow should be doing for them. We have an internal AI team. They coach.

They don't build for you. This role is for the person who wants their hands on the keyboard, not the person who scopes it and waits. The honest version: no template here.

You're defining the standard as you go, with review at key milestones and real autonomy in between. Some of what you build will work on the first try. Some won't. That's the job.

What You'll Own Map how merchandising actually works today, not how the org chart says it works.
