Job Description

Product Connections is a renowned division of Acosta Group, a collective of some of the industry’s most trusted retail, marketing, and foodservice agencies. Acosta Group prides itself on reimagining the way people connect with brands at every stage of their shopping journey, making it an integrated leader in the marketing domain. With a workforce of over 10,000 experts and more than 150 corporate employees, Acosta Group encompasses vast talent and diverse experiences, setting new standards for what a marketing agency can achieve. Their ecosystem covers a wide range of services including digital and traditional retail events and demonstrations, experiential marketing, sponsorship activations, and omnichannel shopper marketing. These offerings position Product Connections as a specialized marketing agency focused on delivering brand solutions that connect products to the right target audiences at the most optimal times, driving effective consumer conversion.

The role responsible within Product Connections centers on the preparation of juice and other specialty products for purchase, a critical component in ensuring customer satisfaction and product quality during marketing demonstrations and retail activations. This position entails a dynamic combination of specialized food handling skills, product preparation, and live demonstration capabilities that align closely with the company’s mission to build impactful customer-brand relationships. It also involves upholding food safety and industry compliance through applicable state and local certifications or licenses. Working closely with brand teams, retail partners, and customers, the role demands a high level of professionalism, attentiveness to detail, and physical stamina.

In addition to preparing juice or other specialty products, this role includes the responsibility for conducting product demonstrations and sampling events, allowing potential buyers to engage directly with the products, thus enhancing brand visibility and consumer trust. The position requires familiarity and adherence to strict safety standards related to equipment and food handling, emphasizing the safe use of machinery and sharp utensils. Physical demands include frequent lifting, standing for extended periods, and potentially working in varied environmental conditions such as refrigerated settings or near hot equipment. The role also requires effective communication skills to interact with customers and team members, as well as the ability to navigate and complete reporting requirements through digital platforms.

The work environment is fast-paced, often noisy given the retail and warehouse settings, demanding adaptability and resilience. Product Connections fosters an inclusive culture where employees are encouraged to grow their skills, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to the company’s success. This role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about product marketing in the food and beverage sector to advance their careers in a supportive, collaborative setting. With reasonable accommodations available, the company values diversity and accessibility, underscoring its commitment to equal opportunity employment.
