Available Candidates
Pre-vetted professionals ready to start
SKU counts keep growing. Seasons launch faster. CX expectations are high. Zedtreeo gives you dedicated remote staff for product ops, merchandising and CX — sized to your collection cadence and basket volume.
Every fashion hire is vetted on Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, NuORDER, Joor, PLM systems (Centric, Bamboo Rose) and PIM platforms. Portfolio-verified on product listings, size charts and attribute taxonomy.
A US merchandising assistant runs $55K+ fully loaded. A Zedtreeo merchandiser starts at $800/month — you can run a full product-ops pod for less than one onshore hire, launching seasons faster without blowing the budget.
Our fashion staff are trained on trend research, seasonal buying calendars, sell-through analytics and brand voice. They understand the difference between a trend piece and a core carry, and write listings that convert — not just describe.
Dedicated teams mean consistent catalog quality — not rotating freelancers relearning your taxonomy every season. Same merchandiser for year one and year two means better output with less supervision over time.
Be honest — here's who wins with us and who doesn't.

A structured process that gets you a working hire in a week — not a month.
Real clients. Real outcomes. Real savings.
A US DTC fashion brand was launching 60 SKUs per season but wanted to triple cadence without scaling onshore catalog headcount. A Zedtreeo 6-person catalog and merchandising pod took over product setup, imagery, copy and PDP optimization — brand launched 200+ SKUs/season consistently.
Read case study →A UK prestige beauty brand was breaking CX response times during launches. A Zedtreeo 5-person CX and returns pod took over Gorgias tickets and Klaviyo flows — first-response time dropped from 18 hours to 2, satisfaction score up 18 points.
Read case study →An AU footwear brand had a 6-week backlog on photo retouching that was delaying launches. A Zedtreeo 4-person retouch pod took over ghost mannequin, color correction and lifestyle comps — pipeline cleared in 3 weeks, ongoing SLA dropped to 48 hours turnaround.
Read case study →Founders and COOs who scaled their teams with Zedtreeo fashion and beauty teams.
"Zedtreeo's catalog team is the reason we can launch at DTC pace on a small-team budget. 200+ SKUs a season, all PDPs dialed, and my merchandising director finally has time for the creative work."
"Our Zedtreeo CX pod answers faster, more empathetically and with better brand voice than the overflow agency we were using. Loyalty metrics are up, returns are down."
"The Zedtreeo retouch team is dialed on our style. 48-hour turnaround, no back-and-forth, consistent output. Launches aren't gated on photo production anymore."
Everything operators ask before hiring a fashion and beauty staff from Zedtreeo.
Fashion and beauty staff starts from $5/hour ($800/month, $9,600/year). Catalog assistants, listing ops and CX agents sit at the entry tier, while senior merchandisers, retouchers and tech pack designers run $6–8/hour. Total cost lands 70–90% below onshore equivalents once you factor in software, PTO and supervision overhead.
Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, WooCommerce, NuORDER, Joor, Brandboom, Centric PLM, Bamboo Rose, PLM360, Gerber AccuMark, Browzwear and custom PIMs. We match on exact stack during vetting and confirm fluency before placement.
Yes. Our retouch specialists are Photoshop-fluent and handle ghost mannequin, color match to Pantone, skin retouching, background removal, shadow/reflection and lifestyle compositing. Portfolio-verified before placement. Most handle 40–80 retouch edits per day per retoucher.
Yes. Our merchandising analysts pull sell-through reports from Shopify/Magento/Lightspeed, analyze by category, price band and size curve, and build OTB-style recommendations for planners and buyers. They support the buy, they don't replace your buying team.
Shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates within 48 hours. Platform access, brand-voice training and first listings in week one. Most catalog ops, CX agents and retouchers are live in production by day 5–7; tech pack and merchandising roles usually take 10–14 days to fully ramp.
Yes. Our CX agents are certified or experienced on Gorgias, Zendesk, Kustomer, Freshdesk, Reamaze and custom help desks. They handle order status, returns/exchanges, fit guidance, allergy/ingredient questions (beauty), wholesale inquiries and VIP client communication. Klaviyo and Yotpo segmentation and review management included.
Either. Smaller DTC brands start with 1–2 catalog ops for new launches and scale to pods of 4–8 for SKU-heavy seasons. Larger omnichannel brands staff pods of 10–25 for catalog, CX, merchandising and photo retouch. We recommend structure based on SKU cadence and basket volume.
We run a 5-day free trial at the start. If fit isn't right, no bill. Post-trial, we track output against agreed metrics (SKUs live, retouch turnaround, CX CSAT, order accuracy) and replace within 7–14 days at no additional cost if quality drops. Retention sits above industry averages because we pre-match on platform and brand category.
