Selected answer:Operations Manager (+ another possibility)
Explanation:
1) it could be a typo #231: "Operations Programmer"
Existing profession/role. See: http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=navclient&hl=nl&ie=UTF-...

2)it could be a typo #A85: "Operations Manager"
This is more likely - given the combination Merchandiser + Merchandiser Manager - that it should have been Operations + Operations Manager

p.s. the #A-typos are the most severe including twisting of more than 2 characters & meaning, excluding essential elements and hence coming up with an abstract incomprehensible representation of something otherwise very useful. Just like we twist our worldview from time to time ;-)
