Come be our Calendar Buyer!

Who We Are

Calendar Holdings, LLC, based right here in Austin, Texas, is the parent company behind some of your favorite retail brands — Calendars.com, Toys“R”Us, Go! Games & Toys, and Attic Salt . We’re proud to be the world’s largest operator of holiday pop-up stores across the U.S. in malls, outlets, and shopping centers under the Go! Calendars, Go! Games, and Go! Toys names.

We’ve been around for almost 35 years, but we still bring that start-up energy every day — where ideas take off and new opportunities are always around the corner. This is a great place to launch or grow your career while working alongside smart, creative, and fun teammates. We’re serious about doing great work, but we never forget to enjoy it along the way.

What We’re Looking For

We’re on the hunt for a Calendar Buyer to join our awesome Merchandising team! You’ll report directly to our Executive VP and General Merchandise Manager and collaborate daily with a talented, tight-knit group of professionals.

We’re looking for someone who’s detail-oriented, organized, and loves a good challenge — but who also knows how to have fun. Bonus points if you have a sense of humor (we take our calendars seriously, but not too seriously).

You’ll thrive in this role if you :

  • Are highly organized with a strong sense of urgency
  • Can juggle multiple projects and departments with ease
  • Bring a sunny, self-motivated attitude to work every day
  • Love problem-solving and thinking creatively

What You’ll Do

As our Calendar Buyer , you’ll be responsible for purchasing, assortment planning, and merchandising calendars across our stores. You’ll manage inventory, analyze performance, and help us discover exciting new products and trends.

Your day-to-day might include :

  • Managing Open-to-Buy and keeping an eye on margins and inventory levels
  • Selecting, pricing, and purchasing calendars to maximize sales and profit
  • Using strong business and financial acumen to evaluate new opportunities
  • Partnering with finance to build solid financial plans
  • Overseeing store and showroom merchandising for all calendar products
  • Building and maintaining great relationships with vendors (and negotiating the best deals!)
  • Collaborating across departments — including Operations, Visual Merchandising, Marketing, and more — to keep everything running smoothly
  • What You Bring to the Table

  • 8+ years of merchandising experience (4+ in a leadership role)
  • Strong knowledge of merchandising, logistics, and distribution
  • Experience with international markets (a plus!)
  • Solid understanding of direct-to-consumer sales
  • Top-notch communication and analytical skills
  • Comfort with Excel, Word, Outlook, and learning new systems quickly
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves and work during busy peak seasons
  • Perks & Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Short- & Long-Term Disability
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Generous employee discount (hello, early holiday shopping!)
  • Bonus opportunities
  • Relaxed dress code — we keep it casual
  • Strong 401(k) match
  • Generous PTO and your birthday off!
  • Fun company events and a welcoming team culture
  • Open-door environment and family atmosphere
  • This job description has been designed to indicate the general nature and level of work performed by employees within this position. The actual duties, responsibilities, and qualification may vary based on assignment.
