Overview

With the industry’s largest database of retail intelligence, the deepest inventory of impulse products, and the most experienced team, we’re the premier strategic merchandising partner to North America’s retailers. 

Jacent Strategic Merchandising sources, warehouses, ships, and stocks over 3,500 impulse items to 14,000 retail stores across the US, Puerto Rico and Canada. We create a strategic merchandising plan for each store–then place the ideal impulse items in the ideal locations, with follow-up re-ordering and re-stocking. In addition to our impulse business, Jacent offers retail insights and services, such as audits and shelf stocking, to help stores run at peak efficiency.

The result of our work is two-fold: By connecting consumers with the right items—even ones they didn’t know they were looking for—we inspire shopping experiences. And in the process, we’re helping our retail customers generate incremental sales. It’s a win-win.

Summary

At Jacent we see graphic design as visual storytelling that engages, informs, and inspires. We're looking for a talented graphic designer who can take concepts and ideas and create visual representations, in both packaging and marketing materials.

Collaborating with multiple teams across the company, the graphic designer should be able to take written or spoken ideas and convert them into a design that connects with our US and Canadian customers.
