Job Description

Product Connections is a dynamic division within the Acosta Group, a renowned collective of the retail, marketing, and foodservice industries’ most trusted agencies. The Acosta Group reimagines how brands and consumers engage at every step of the shopping journey, delivering comprehensive solutions through digital and traditional retail events, experiential marketing, sponsorship activation, and omnichannel shopper marketing. This extensive network includes over 10,000 field experts and more than 150 corporate employees, all united in a culture that values collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. Employees are encouraged to think creatively, enhance their skills, and pursue career growth within a supportive environment where every idea is valued and every contribution makes an impact.

The specific position offered by Product Connections involves preparing juice and specialty products for purchase and conducting related product demonstrations and sampling events. This role is vital in bridging the gap between consumer curiosity and brand loyalty by effectively showcasing products in retail environments. The job requires setting up and preparing specialized food product areas, adhering strictly to safety requirements while using machinery and handling sharp tools, and following rigorous food safety and handling protocols. Accuracy in completing reporting requirements and adherence to program scope and compliance are essential, reflecting the company’s commitment to operational excellence. Team collaboration is crucial, with responsibilities including assisting in event setup and cleanup, maintaining sterile and safe work areas with appropriate cleaning chemicals, and participating in various training and certification programs to uphold industry standards.

This client-facing role demands physical endurance due to the need to lift heavy loads, manage equipment, stand for prolonged periods, and work in varying environmental conditions that include cold, refrigerated areas and hot machinery. Effective communication skills in English, with bilingual abilities as a possible advantage, are important for engaging customers and team members. The work schedule may vary, reflecting the event-driven nature of the position, and requires flexibility and readiness to adapt. The role does not include supervisory duties but emphasizes a commitment to safety, quality, and exemplary customer service.

In return, Product Connections and the Acosta Group offer a forward-thinking workplace culture defined by growth opportunities and a commitment to diversity and inclusion. They are equal opportunity employers prioritizing accommodation for applicants with disabilities and uphold strong ethical hiring and employment practices, including the use of E-Verify to validate candidates’ eligibility to work in the United States. The company’s mission goes beyond marketing; it is about creating meaningful consumer connections that drive brand success. Competitive compensation, ongoing training, and a comprehensive benefits package underscore their investment in employees’ well-being and career trajectories, making this an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about marketing, food service, and customer engagement.
