Job Description

CROSSMARK is a historic company with a global footprint that has been a leader in sales and marketing services for many years. The company specializes in helping manufacturing partners grow their retail performance by ensuring that their products connect effectively with customers in local store environments. CROSSMARK is recognized for its commitment to innovation, training, and employee support, offering flexible work options that cater to a healthy work-life balance. The company is dedicated to engaging consumers and creating meaningful interactions between shoppers and leading brands through live product demonstrations and on-site promotional events.

As an Event Specialist at CROSSMARK, you will serve as the vital face of leading brands within local retail settings.
