Job Description

Product Connections is a leading division of Acosta Group, a collective of the retail, marketing, and foodservice industry's most trusted agencies. Acosta Group specializes in reimagining the way people connect with brands throughout their shopping journey. As a full-service marketing agency, Product Connections focuses on delivering seamless digital and traditional retail events and demonstrations, experiential marketing, sponsorship activation, and omnichannel shopper marketing. Their mission is to connect products to the right target audiences at the most effective times, helping to move consumers through the conversion funnel with precision and creativity. With over 10,000 experts in the field and more than 150 corporate employees, Product Connections embodies a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation that empowers employees to grow their skills and advance their careers. The company is committed to fostering an environment where ideas matter, and every team member's contribution drives meaningful impact.

This role is responsible for preparing juices and other specialty food products for purchase and presenting them effectively during product demonstrations and sampling events. The position requires attention to detail in setting up the preparation area properly and adhering to all safety and compliance guidelines related to food handling, equipment use, and sanitation practices. The individual will read and understand the materials accompanying product demonstrations to ensure full compliance with program scopes and requirements. They will also be tasked with maintaining cleanliness and sterility of the work environment, assisting teammates with event set-up or kitchen duties, and accurately completing reporting requirements, including online documentation. This dynamic position demands physical stamina — continuously lifting up to 50 pounds, pushing wheeled machines weighing between 50 and 600 pounds, standing for extended periods, and working in a retail warehouse environment with exposure to cold and hot conditions.

Candidates are expected to have relevant experience in product marketing, product demonstrations, or the food, beverage, or restaurant industry. Essential certifications such as applicable state and local food safety licenses are required. The role includes conducting food sampling as per schedules, following proper lifting techniques, and participating in mandatory training sessions and certifications to maintain safety and compliance standards.

Product Connections offers a retail store work environment with regular interaction with coworkers, management, and customers. English is the primary language used, and bilingual skills may be needed depending on business requirements. The company emphasizes equal opportunity employment and reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities. Compensation and employment terms are aligned with industry standards, and Acosta Group uses E-Verify to validate employment eligibility. This position offers an opportunity to join a supportive and forward-thinking agency that values growth, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
