Employing over 10,000 field experts and supported by more than 150 corporate employees, Acosta Group and its subsidiaries foster a dynamic and inclusive work environment.

At Product Connections, team members find a workplace where their ideas are valued, their professional development is supported, and their contributions have a tangible impact. As an equal opportunity employer, Acosta Group ensures reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities, reinforcing their commitment to an inclusive hiring process.
The position available with Product Connections is focused on the preparation of juice and other specialty products for sale. The role requires hands-on involvement with specialty food preparation, including conducting live product demonstrations and assisting with sampling events to engage consumers and boost product visibility. Candidates with prior experience in product marketing, food service, beverage, or restaurant environments will find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their skills and backgrounds.
On a daily basis, the job involves setting up and preparing designated areas for the specialized food products, safely handling and operating machinery and utensils, and maintaining compliance with local and state food safety regulations.

The role demands meticulous attention to safety measures, cleanliness, and effective communication to ensure a smooth and professional demonstration atmosphere.
Additional responsibilities include thoroughly reviewing product demonstration materials, adhering to packaging, labeling, merchandising, and disposal procedures, and completing all necessary reporting tasks, including online documentation. The role also involves coordination and communication with supervisors and other team members to stay aligned with event schedules and corporate updates. Successful candidates will demonstrate the ability to handle varying work shifts, adapt to working in different temperature environments (cold refrigeration or hot equipment areas), and engage customers effectively during demonstrations.
Overall, this position is ideal for motivated individuals seeking to grow within a reputable marketing agency that partners with major brands and retailers. It offers an exciting opportunity to contribute directly to product marketing success through hands-on involvement, customer engagement, and collaboration in a vibrant retail store environment.
