Job Description

Product Connections is a dynamic marketing agency that operates as part of the Acosta Group, one of the industry’s most trusted collections of retail, marketing, and foodservice agencies. With a focus on redefining how consumers connect with brands throughout their shopping experiences, Product Connections specializes in delivering comprehensive retail events, product demonstrations, experiential marketing, sponsorship activations, and omnichannel shopper marketing solutions. The Acosta Group encompasses over 10,000 experts and more than 150 corporate employees who collaborate to create innovative and effective brand engagement strategies. Our culture is built on inclusivity, collaboration, and growth, encouraging team members to develop their skills and take their careers to new heights.

We are currently seeking a dedicated individual to join our team in the role of Specialty Product Demonstrator. This exciting position focuses primarily on preparing juice and other specialty food products for purchase, ensuring product quality and compliance with safety and production standards. The Specialty Product Demonstrator plays a vital role in engaging customers through food sampling and live demonstrations, supporting marketing efforts by effectively showcasing products and driving customer interest and sales.

This full-time role involves a range of responsibilities, including setting up and maintaining a clean, sterile, and safe work environment, following strict food handling standards, and complying with all safety protocols when operating equipment such as hot machinery and sharp blades. The ideal candidate will be comfortable handling physically demanding tasks such as lifting heavy boxes and maneuvering wheeled machinery as needed. They will also be expected to actively participate in training sessions and certifications to ensure ongoing compliance with state and local food safety regulations.

Our team member will be responsible for accurately completing required reports and adhering to all reporting requirements including online documentation. Additionally, the role requires regular communication with supervisors and team members to stay updated on event schedules, business initiatives, and procedural changes. This position offers a great opportunity to be part of a collaborative environment where supporting teammates, contributing to event setup or clean-up, and consistently delivering top-notch customer experiences are highly valued.

Product Connections values diversity and is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities to perform their essential duties. We provide a retail store environment characterized by regular interactions with coworkers, management, and customers, often involving moderate to high noise levels typical of a retail warehouse setting. Candidates should be prepared for work environments that include exposure to refrigerated conditions, food products, and cleaning chemicals.

Applicants should have previous experience in product marketing, product demonstrations, or the food, beverage, or restaurant industry. The role requires strong communication skills, the ability to safely prepare specialty food products, and a readiness to lift substantial weights and stand for extended periods. Physical agility to perform tasks involving machinery and sharp utensils, as well as climbing with a 6-foot step stool when necessary, is essential for success in this position.

At Product Connections, part of Acosta Group, we are committed to pioneering brand connections through innovative marketing strategies and exceptional customer engagement. We pride ourselves on a supportive atmosphere that fosters creativity, professional growth, and meaningful contributions. If you are passionate about engaging consumers and have a strong background in product demonstrations or the food industry, this role offers an excellent platform to advance your career within a leading marketing agency.

Acosta Group ensures compliance with E-Verify, validating the ability to work in the United States for all candidates. Reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities are provided upon request. Join Product Connections and take part in shaping the future of shopper marketing with a team that values your ideas, growth, and impact.
