This role is responsible for preparing juice and other specialty products for sale, supporting product demonstrations, and conducting food sampling events to meet business needs. The position requires a high degree of attention to detail, adherence to safety and compliance guidelines, and the ability to perform food preparation tasks efficiently and safely. Employees will set up and maintain clean, sterile work areas, follow detailed instructions and safety protocols, and contribute to event setup, execution, and cleanup as needed. The role includes proper handling of equipment, materials, and merchandise, with a focus on safe food handling, labeling, packaging, and merchandising.
The ideal candidate will bring previous experience in product marketing, product demonstrations, or within the food, beverage, or restaurant industries. Essential skills include the ability to safely prepare juice and specialty products for purchase, conduct engaging product demonstrations and sampling events, and maintain compliance with all relevant food safety certifications and regulations. Physical demands include lifting weights regularly, pushing heavy equipment, standing for extended periods, and working in varied environments with temperature exposure. This position provides opportunities to attend specialized training and complete certifications necessary for food safety and operational compliance.
Working with Product Connections offers the chance to be part of a dynamic team that revolutionizes the way brands connect with consumers in retail settings. The company values employee growth and innovation while providing a stable work environment with a focus on health and safety. This is a unique opportunity for individuals who are passionate about food product marketing and enjoy working in a fast-paced, customer-facing retail environment. Employment is subject to E-Verify confirmation of the ability to work in the United States, and the company commits to transparent and fair salary practices.
By joining Product Connections, candidates will find a workplace where their ideas matter, their growth is supported, and their contributions make a tangible impact. This role does not involve supervisory responsibilities but offers a chance to collaborate closely with team members, supervisors, and customers in a retail store environment with moderate to high noise levels. English is the primary language skill required, although bilingual abilities may be requested based on business needs. Overall, this position suits individuals who are detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience through product preparation and demonstration.
