About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Good ideas are easy. Getting them live, on time, with clean data and nothing missing — that's the hard part. That's you. At Life is Good, the Merchandise Analyst turns the Buying team's plans into reality, one launch at a time. You're the one tracking every ticket, catching the missing image before it becomes a problem, and making sure product data is right across the board. You bring order to a lot of moving pieces, and you make it look easy — even when it isn't. If that's the kind of work that satisfies you, we'd love to meet you.
You own the operational engine of the merch team: product launches, data accuracy, cross-functional coordination, and the tracking systems that keep every moving part visible. Your precision and follow-through are what allow the Buyers to stay focused on the business instead of chasing details.
You manage end-to-end product launches — creating and tracking Jira tickets, verifying items are live on site, flagging missing product images, and coordinating DTG activations. You own product attribution in Centric, including tagging and merch/custom categories, so product data is consistent and accurate across every launch. You lead item setup and the sample process cross-functionally, and maintain season codes and pricing files so the team always has current, reliable data to work from. You create and manage product change tickets covering DTG updates, site removals, markdowns, and markups. You support Partnership and GWP programs, keeping launches and change activities on track. You own the daily tracking of all product launch and change activity so nothing falls through the cracks. You monitor sales performance and key merchandising metrics to identify opportunities, risks, and emerging trends that support business objectives. You use AI tools to automate manual, repetitive tasks — freeing up time for higher-value analysis and cross-functional work. You stay current on tools that improve operational efficiency and bring them forward when they’re ready to use.
