Spark Shop Project Coordinator (retail Operations)

Job Description

Location: Bentonville, AR (On-site, Monday–Friday)

About the Role

We're looking for a detail-oriented Project Coordinator to support Spark Shop. Spark Shop, located in the Welcome Center on Walmart's home office campus, offers a curated assortment of Walmart-branded merchandise across apparel, accessories, office, and more. This role blends client-facing project coordination with hands-on store operations.

Spark Shop is known as a "happy place" on campus—a destination for discovery, connection, and a quick reset. We're looking for someone to help reinforce that experience with a "customer, always" mindset.

You'll work closely with stakeholders to keep projects on track while also supporting merchandising, inventory, and the in-store customer experience. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants exposure to retail, marketing, and operations in a fast-paced environment.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for client partners and internal teams
• Coordinate project timelines, tasks, and deliverables across multiple initiatives
• Support in-store operations including merchandising, inventory, and collection launches
• Maintain the sales floor and backstock (receiving shipments, stocking, organizing, lifting to 25 lbs.)
• Manage bi-weekly inventory replenishment from the local warehouse
• Manage item setup and inventory strategy across launches
• Operate POS systems, assist with checkout, returns, and basic troubleshooting
• Contribute to feedback on product design, assortment, events, and marketing plans
• Track and report on sales performance, inventory, and operational metrics
• Deliver a strong in-store customer experience, including assisting with purchases and inquiries
• Partner cross-functionally to execute marketing and retail programs
• Identify process improvements and help solve day-to-day operational challenges
• Build strong working relationships and ensure a high level of service and execution

What You Bring

• 1–3 years of experience in retail, marketing, operations, or project coordination
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities
• Comfortable in a client-facing environment with strong communication skills
• Willingness to be hands-on in a retail setting (stocking, merchandising, etc.)
• Interest in retail, merchandising, or marketing operations
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)

Why This Role

This role offers hands-on experience at the intersection of retail operations, marketing, and client services—supporting a highly visible, on-campus store environment. You'll gain exposure to cross-functional teams while developing both project management and operational skills.
