Category Specialist at Floor and Decor Outlets of America, Inc. — Atlanta, GA

Your Work Matters

As a Category Specialist, you’ll be the engine behind category execution—turning strategy into action. Your work directly impacts what our customers see on the floor, how our stores perform, and how smoothly products move from vendor to warehouse to shelf. This role matters because great merchandising doesn’t happen in theory, it happens in the details you manage every day.

• Help develop and execute category plans, product strategies, and seasonal priorities
• Supporting buying decisions through analysis, inventory management, promotions, and planogram execution
• Owning specific buying responsibilities for assigned categories, regions, or initiatives
• Managing vendor relationships, purchase orders, SKU setups, and ongoing follow-ups to keep product flowing accurately and on time
• Creating and maintaining category training materials, new product communications, and store-ready guidance
• Supporting store teams by troubleshooting issues, managing grand opening needs, and ensuring category execution stays clean and consistent

You’ll Be Successful With

• 2+ years of merchandising, buying, or inventory-related experience in a fast-paced retail or category environment
• Strong analytical skills, especially in Excel, with the ability to turn data into clear actions
• A detail-oriented mindset—you notice what’s off before it becomes a problem
• The ability to juggle multiple priorities while meeting deadlines without losing accuracy
• Clear, confident communication skills for working with buyers, vendors, and store partners
• A proactive, organized approach and comfort operating in the day-to-day realities of retail

Work Environment / Physical Expectations

• Primarily a sedentary role with extended periods of sitting, though occasional walking, standing, or light physical activity (lifting up to 20 lbs) may be needed.
