Our client, a major California winery, is putting together a dynamic sales and merchandising team to call on chain grocery and drug stores throughout Northern CA during their busiest season, September 14th through the end of 2020. The Sales & Merchandising Representatives they hire will be the main point of contact for all stores in each assigned territory. The routes require a commitment of 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday; although Representatives may create their own schedules with start times anywhere from 4 AM to 6 AM each day and respective end times between 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM.
The Chain Sales-Merchandising Representatives will build key relationships with the Managers at each assigned store. They are accountable for ensuring in-stock conditions on the shelves, in floor displays and in the Cold Box. A key component of the job involves collaboration with each Store Manager to drive incremental display cases to the floor. Reps should arrange their schedules to include all stores on each week’s route that allows an in-person connection with the respective store manager or other designated decision maker.
The products to be merchandised will have already been delivered to each store by our client’s fleet of trucks earlier that day or week. Merchandisers carry some lightweight point of sale in their personal vehicles such as shelf talkers, price tags and bottle neck hangers.
The territory includes greater Marin County with stores located in Larkspur, Petaluma, Mill Valley, Novato, San Rafael, Rohnert Park, Corte Madera, San Enselmo, Greenbrae, Sausalito and Belvedere/ Tiburon. Applicants must live within 20 miles or less of one of these Cities in order to be considered.
