Merchandising Manager

We are rebel watchmakers with a purpose. Established in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company, we took a traditional European watchmaking and layered American industrial ingenuity on top. That is when we began our journey to disrupt a 300 year-old industry. Timex took mantle clocks made from wood and made them out of metal and made them faster and affordable for everyone. We took the pocket watch, added a strap, and put it on your wrist. Today our design lab in Milan designs the most beautiful watches for consumers around the world. Come join our team, make a difference, and wear watches from Timex and some of the biggest brands in the world.

**This role is hybrid and requires 2 days a week on-site in our Shelton, CT office. Remote candidates will not be considered**
