The role

Forget the ten-line wish list; Ernst & Young wants a Merchandise Manager in Ann Arbor, MI who is sharp on People Management and serious about the work. This role blends $86,000 - $131,000 pay with the autonomy to shape Multitasking work and a team that grows together.

Key Responsibilities

  • 7 years that taught you which corners can be cut
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, scrappy environment
  • A solid foundation in Process Improvement, refined over 7+ years
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a manager capacity
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
