The company prides itself on helping shoppers discover new products in local stores while simultaneously driving measurable growth for manufacturing partners. As one of the industry’s leaders, CROSSMARK operates with a vision to create impactful live product experiences that engage consumers and enhance brand loyalty across diverse markets.

Joining CROSSMARK as an Event Specialist means becoming part of a dynamic and supportive team that values passion, professionalism, and results-oriented performance.

The Event Specialist is responsible for setting up and breaking down professional product displays, managing portable demo stations, and maintaining compliance with safety and hygiene standards — particularly when handling food samples.
