About Adam Rock

With over 6 years of experience in the retail industry, I bring a blend of strategic planning, merchandise coordination, and team leadership to the table. Currently serving as a Assistant Buyer at Big Lots, I play a vital role in supporting the Merchandising Division through a range of tasks including purchase order creation, open-to-buy tracking, and merchandise planning. I ensure seamless operations across various aspects of merchandising, from coordinating ad processes and managing SKU integrity to assisting in planogram development and vendor negotiations. My retail journey began on the front lines— where I gained valuable experience as an Assistant Visual Merchandising Manager and progressed to Assistant Store Manager of Store Operations at Forever 21, where I managed a team of 50+ associates and drove sales through effective visual merchandising and operational strategies. This hands-on experience laid the foundation for my expertise in balancing customer satisfaction with business objectives. In my current role, I apply my knowledge of financial metrics, category management, and strategic planning to optimize product offerings and streamline processes, contributing to the company's bottom line. I also collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure accuracy in merchandising presentations, product packaging, and inventory management. I am passionate about delivering results through innovative merchandising solutions and continuously improving operational efficiencies. With a strong eye for detail and an ability to adapt to the ever-changing retail landscape, I am excited about the future and the opportunities to drive success in the retail industry.
