Director of Site Merchandising

Jersey City, NJ

Hi, we're Nuts.com!

Nuts.com is a self-funded, profitable, rapidly growing multi-channel DTC specialty food and wellness company with over 550 people on our team. We're changing the landscape of snacking on nuts, dried fruit, chocolate and more! We planted our roots in Newark, New Jersey during the Great Depression, selling premium nuts on Mulberry Street's open-air market. We've come quite a long way since then, taking our multi-generational family business online in 1999. Even after 97 years, we continue to pride ourselves in expertly sourcing the highest quality foods and treating our customers like family.

What's our team like? We're driven, collaborative and entrepreneurial. Energy and passion power our business and we look for candidates who share in that excitement to help us continue to build something special.

The role:

We are looking for a strategic, data-driven Director of Site Merchandising to own and evolve the end-to-end onsite shopping experience at Nuts.com. This leader will be accountable for how customers discover, navigate, and shop a high-SKU, content-rich assortment across the site. The role blends commercial instinct, operational rigor, and customer empathy to deliver a site experience that is intuitive, inspiring, and conversion-focused.

As Director of Site Merchandising, you will lead the strategy and execution of onsite merchandising, content programming, taxonomy, and promotional storytelling. You will partner closely with Product Merchandising, Growth Marketing, Creative, and Dig Product to ensure the site experience supports business priorities while remaining customer-first.

  • Establish workflows, standards, and governance that ensure speed, accuracy, and consistency across all onsite content

Performance Analytics & Experimentation

  • Monitor site health and performance using key ecommerce metrics including conversion rate, AOV, click-through rate, bounce rate, and revenue per visit
  • Oversee dashboards and reporting that surface actionable insights and guide decision-making across teams
  • Lead an ongoing A/B testing and experimentation roadmap focused on merchandising, content placement, navigation, and messaging
  • Translate customer behavior, data, and insights into clear recommendations and measurable improvements

Customer Journey & Storytelling

  • Design cohesive shopping journeys that move customers from inspiration to confidence to purchase (partner closely with acquisition, retention, and product teams to execute) 
  • Partner with Creative to ensure strong visual merchandising, clear value communication, and consistent brand expression
  • Apply trend awareness, competitive insights, and a strong aesthetic point of view to keep the site feeling fresh, distinctive, and inspiring
  • Review and elevate onsite content execution to ensure storytelling aligns with broader brand and commercial goals

Partnership with Product Management

  • Collaborate with the Product and Design teams to inform and influence the digital product roadmap through clear business requirements and customer insights
  • Provide input on prioritization of features and enhancements related to navigation, search, merchandising tools, and content systems
  • Act as a key stakeholder and tester for new site features, ensuring solutions meet merchandising and customer needs
  • Support usability improvements and conversion optimization while respecting clear ownership boundaries with Product leadership

What you’ll bring:

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
