Join Emery Jensen, a growing division of the largest hard-lines distributor in the industry.

Emery Jensen, a subsidiary of Ace Hardware Corporation, sells and distributes hard-line products to independent Pro / Lumber, Hardware, and E-retailer customer segments.

What You Need to Succeed

  • 5 years of store planning, visual merchandising, or store management experience in a retail environment, or a Bachelor's degree plus 3 years of relevant experience.
  • Experience leading store conversions, remodels, or major merchandising resets.
  • Hardware, home improvement, or related industry experience preferred.
  • Customer-centric with strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and time management abilities.
  • Able to work independently while leading others in an active store environment.
  • Detail-oriented, adaptable, and energized by hands-on work.
  • Compliant with all aspects of company travel policy.
  • Valid driver's license and good driving record required.
  • Up to 80% travel, including overnight travel.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds, climb ladders, and stand or walk for extended periods.
  • Where You'll Work

    This role is field-based, supporting projects primarily across the Northeast region - including Albany / Syracuse, NY; Hartford, CT; and Boston, MA.
