Job Description
Product Connections is part of Acosta Group, which stands as a leading collective of trusted retail, marketing, and foodservice agencies dedicated to reimagining the way consumers engage with brands throughout their shopping journeys. Acosta Group specializes in delivering comprehensive marketing solutions that seamlessly blend digital and traditional retail events, experiential marketing, sponsorship activation, and omnichannel shopper marketing.

This company prides itself on fostering a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive culture that encourages employees to think innovatively, sharpen their skills, and advance their careers, offering a workplace where ideas are valued and professional growth is a priority.
The role in question focuses on the preparation of juice and specialty food products designed for purchase within retail environments. This position entails fully setting up and preparing work areas, adhering strictly to safety and compliance guidelines that govern food handling, equipment use, and workplace hygiene. Candidates must be capable of following detailed procedural instructions, maintaining product quality, and ensuring a clean and safe work environment. Responsibilities extend to conducting product demonstrations and sampling events that support business needs, performing routine cleaning and maintenance, and being flexible to assist with event setups, kitchen duties, and other tasks as directed by management.
Applicants are expected to possess previous experience in product marketing, product demonstrations, or within the food, beverage, or restaurant industries, complemented by applicable state or local food safety certification/license. The physical demands of this role are significant, requiring the ability to lift heavy weights (minimum of 50 lbs repeatedly), push wheeled equipment weighing between 50-600 lbs, and endure prolonged standing periods. The work environment is dynamic, including exposure to refrigerated conditions, hot equipment, and cleaning chemicals, reflective of a retail warehouse setting that features moderate to high noise levels and regular interaction with coworkers, management, and customers.

Compensation is competitive and adheres to the ranges provided by Acosta Group, which is committed to equal opportunity employment and providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
