The role of Product Demonstrator at Product Connections is essential in the execution of these marketing strategies. This position is responsible for preparing specialty products such as juices and other food items for customer purchase while ensuring quality, safety, and proper presentation. The demonstrator must be skilled in setting up and maintaining the demonstration area in accordance with food safety standards and corporate guidelines. They are also required to thoroughly review all program materials related to product demonstrations to fully comprehend the scope, instructions, production requirements, and compliance standards. This knowledge ensures that all demonstrations are executed accurately and efficiently, contributing to overall program success.

Demonstrators are expected to complete all reporting requirements, including online documentation, and keep themselves updated on event schedules, corporate communications, and supervisor requests.

Demonstrators contribute not just by presenting products but also by supporting the business's broader goals through quality demonstrations that encourage sampling and product sales. The environment is dynamic, featuring frequent interaction with colleagues, supervisors, and customers in retail settings that may have moderate to high noise levels and varied temperature conditions.

This is an opportunity for individuals with prior experience in product marketing, product demonstrations, or the food and beverage industry who seek to apply their skills in an engaging and supportive agency setting.
