Sporticulture is a sports licensing and consumer products company operating at the intersection of sports fandom, lifestyle, and everyday retail. We design, develop, and distribute officially licensed merchandise across some of the most recognized leagues and programs in professional and collegiate sports -- including the NFL, MLB, NHL, and major NCAA organizations.

Our mission is to bring team pride into the products fans use every day. From home decor to seasonal collections, Sporticulture connects passionate sports fans with high-quality, officially licensed consumer goods that reflect their loyalty to the teams they love.

We operate in a retail-driven environment where strong execution across Walmart systems (Retail Link and Supplier One), compliance, and data accuracy are critical to success.

Sporticulture's product portfolio spans multiple consumer lifestyle categories, each designed to showcase team loyalty in everyday environments:

• Home Decor -- team-branded merchandise for living rooms, offices, and fan caves

• Seasonal & Holiday Decor -- officially licensed collections for every season and celebration

• Crafts & Novelty Items -- creative and collectible fan products for all age groups

• Lighting -- team-branded indoor and outdoor lighting solutions

• Horticulture-Inspired Merchandise -- a signature category blending sports fandom with garden and plant culture

Retail Distribution

Sporticulture products are available through premier national retail and e-commerce partners including Walmart, Amazon, Rally House, Kroger, Target, Fanatics, and other major retailers -- reaching millions of sports fans across the United States through both in-store and online channels.

Our Walmart business relies heavily on Retail Link and Supplier One for item setup, supplier onboarding, compliance management, and ongoing account operations.

JOB SUMMARY

Sporticulture is seeking a Retail Link Consultant to support Walmart retail operations by analyzing data, optimizing inventory performance, and improving overall account efficiency using the Walmart Retail Link platform.

This role includes the full lifecycle of Walmart account setup -- from new item creation and supplier onboarding to factory compliance and system configuration -- followed by ongoing management of purchase orders, shipments, and account health.

This is an analytical and insight-driven role, best suited for a detail-oriented professional with proven hands-on experience navigating Walmart Retail Link.

You will monitor inventory across multiple product categories, identify trends and risks, and deliver clear, actionable reporting that helps Sporticulture optimize its Walmart account performance.

The ideal candidate goes beyond basic reporting -- you proactively surface insights, flag issues before they escalate, and collaborate across operations, supply chain, and sales to drive smarter retail execution. If you are highly organized, data-savvy, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this role is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a growing national retail account.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Core Responsibilities

• Set up and configure Walmart Retail Link and Supplier One accounts, including initial system onboarding

• Manage new product/item setup, ensuring accuracy of all product data and attributes

• Oversee factory onboarding, compliance requirements, and supplier documentation within Walmart systems

• Analyze Walmart Retail Link data including sales performance, inventory levels, and item-level metrics

• Monitor inventory across multiple product categories including home, seasonal, craft, novelty, and lighting

• Manage purchase orders (POs), shipment tracking, and fulfillment processes within Walmart systems

• Identify sales trends, emerging risks, and actionable opportunities across retail channels

• Generate accurate, timely reports and dashboards for internal stakeholders and leadership

• Collaborate with operations and supply chain teams to improve retail execution and fill rates

Additional Responsibilities

• Support demand planning and sales forecasting across Walmart product categories

• Identify and resolve data inconsistencies, reporting gaps, and inventory discrepancies

• Improve reporting workflows and explore automation opportunities for recurring processes

• Provide strategic insights to improve product sell-through rates and retail placement

• Support retail strategy development and account planning for Walmart partnerships

• Ensure ongoing compliance with Walmart requirements, including item maintenance, supplier updates, and system accuracy

• Maintain and update all product, supplier, and shipment data to ensure alignment across Retail Link and Supplier One

Scope of Role

This role is focused on both system setup and ongoing account management -- not manual warehouse operations.

You will be responsible for building the Walmart system foundation from the ground up, including item setup, supplier onboarding, and compliance structures, and then managing day-to-day operations such as POs, shipments, and data accuracy.

You will work cross-functionally with operations, supply chain, and sales teams to ensure Sporticulture's Walmart account performs at its highest potential.
