Job Description

Product Connections is a dynamic and innovative division within Acosta Group, a leading full-service marketing agency that specializes in digital and traditional retail events and demonstrations, experiential marketing, sponsorship activation, and omnichannel shopper marketing. Acosta Group is known for its deep expertise and trusted reputation in helping brands connect with consumers at every touchpoint of their shopping journey. With a workforce that includes more than 10,000 field experts and over 150 corporate employees, Acosta Group boasts a diverse talent pool and a culture that embraces collaboration, inclusivity, and professional growth. The organization is committed to fostering an environment where employees are encouraged to think creatively, develop their skills, and advance their careers. As part of this vibrant team, Product Connections plays a pivotal role in executing marketing campaigns that effectively move consumers through the conversion funnel by providing engaging brand experiences and product demonstrations.

The role of a Product Specialist at Product Connections revolves around the preparation and presentation of juice and other specialty food products for purchase and sampling events. This position requires someone who is detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and able to work efficiently in a fast-paced retail environment. Responsibilities include setting up and preparing the designated area for food product demonstrations, following thorough guidelines and instructions related to the scope and compliance requirements of each program, and adhering to all safety protocols when handling equipment and food products. The Product Specialist also ensures the cleanliness and sterility of the work area by using the proper cleaning chemicals and techniques, maintains accurate reporting of activities, and participates in ongoing training sessions to stay current with certifications and safety standards.

Candidates for this position should possess prior experience in product marketing, food and beverage service, or related industries, along with the ability to safely operate machinery and manage physical demands such as lifting heavy items and standing for extended periods. The job requires strong communication skills, both oral and written, and the capacity to interact professionally with customers and team members alike. This is a non-supervisory role that demands flexibility in working varied hours and the stamina to perform physical tasks including pushing heavy equipment and working in refrigerated or warm environments. Product Connections values a proactive team player who can support teammates during event setups and breakdowns and contribute to maintaining a positive and efficient workspace.

Working at Product Connections means joining a company that prioritizes employee well-being and development, offering a collaborative culture where individual contributions are recognized and impactful. With a competitive salary range, adherence to equal opportunity employment practices, and a commitment to reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities, Product Connections provides a welcoming and supportive workplace. The use of E-Verify underscores the company’s commitment to legal compliance and ethical hiring practices. This job offers more than just an opportunity to demonstrate products; it is a gateway to a meaningful career in marketing and retail operations within a leading industry network. Join Product Connections and become part of a team dedicated to excellence in retail marketing and consumer engagement.
