Description Founded in 1906, MacPherson's legacy is built on a commitment to customer service, teamwork, and creativity, all designed to elevate businesses that serve not only artists but the entire community of creative and imaginative people. The company began as a family wholesale business based in Northern California selling shoe finding supplies to cobblers and shoe repair shops. In the eighties, the company made a strategic shift to art materials which we expanded nationally in the ’90s and early 2000s. Today, we are a trusted strategic partner to over 7,000 retailers, providing industry insight and knowledge to support their business, and the largest Employee-Owned supplier of art and creative materials in North America. Manufacturers from around the world rely on MacPherson’s to deliver their products – and creative inspiration – to retailers, and ultimately consumers, across North America.
Our greatest strength, however, is our people; the employee-owners of MacPherson’s. Our culture is built on our values: Teamwork - Integrity - Respect - Accountability - Innovation - Initiative - 100% Customer Focused - Fun.
We maintain our competitive advantage by serving as the central hub to the global market. The company is the authority in wholesale logistics, brand management, private label, and product development.
We are looking for a candidate who wants to join our dynamic team, leverage their talents, passion, and abilities to help us continue on the journey to our mission: Connecting the World to Creativity.
