At Fiskars Group, we’ve spent over 375 years creating beautifully designed, purposeful products that make everyday life better. From iconic orange-handled scissors to innovative garden tools and kitchenware, our brands are rooted in heritage—but built for today.
Now, we’re looking for an Associate Customer Sales Strategy Manager to help bring our products to life where it matters most: in-store.
What You’ll Do
In this role, you’ll sit at the intersection of sales, marketing, and shopper experience, helping shape how customers discover and engage with Fiskars products.
You will:
Design and optimize in-store planograms that drive sell-through and elevate the shopper journey
Lead development of merchandising and point-of-purchase (POP) materials that increase brand visibility
Act as a go-to expert on customer requirements, from packaging configurations to display placement
Support execution of the annual sales plan, including SKU transitions and inventory alignment
Partner cross-functionally (Sales, Supply Chain, Finance, Marketing) to deliver customer line reviews that grow shelf space and market share
Manage projects end-to-end—tracking timelines, milestones, and ensuring flawless execution
Gather and analyze customer and competitor insights to inform strategy
Support and attend trade shows to bring our brand to life in the market
What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field
1–3 years of experience in Sales, Marketing, Trade Merchandising, or Project Management
A passion for retail and shopper experience
Strong analytical and business acumen (Excel + PowerPoint proficiency required; SAP a plus)
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Confidence in collaborating cross-functionally and influencing without direct authority
Strong communication skills and attention to detail
What Makes You Stand Out
You’re both strategic and hands-on—equally comfortable building a planogram and presenting insights
You thrive in complexity and love turning details into seamless execution
You’re a natural collaborator who builds strong relationships across teams
You take ownership and hold yourself accountable for results
Why Join Fiskars?
Be part of a global brand with deep heritage and modern ambition
Work in a hybrid environment that balances collaboration and flexibility
Make a tangible impact on how customers experience our products every day
Join a team that values growth, ownership, and innovation
If you’re excited about shaping the in-store experience and driving meaningful growth, we’d love to connect.
