With its foundation deeply rooted in tradition, United continues to leverage its distinct market advantages and an innovative team to maintain an impressive upward momentum across its operational territory.

As a company, United excels in the sales and distribution of beverage alcohol, with a portfolio that spans three major categories of alcohol products. Their talented sales representatives and brand builders work diligently to recognize synergistic opportunities that help grow both the product lineup and business outreach in Georgia and beyond. The organization's focus on collaboration, customer engagement, and quality service sets a high standard for the alcoholic beverage wholesale sector.

The Merchandiser role at United offers an exciting entry-level opportunity in sales, designed for proactive individuals who enjoy a hands-on approach in retail and account environments. This role ensures that beer is consistently rotated and merchandised to meet both United’s and its suppliers' standards, a critical function that influences product visibility and availability in various sales outlets. Merchandisers play a vital part in keeping the company's brand image strong by maintaining a consistent “look of the leader” across all segments of United's business.

This position is ideal for self-motivated, competitive individuals who thrive on organization, interpersonal engagement, and creativity. Merchandisers collaborate closely with numerous internal teams to facilitate smooth operations and ensure the optimal presentation and rotation of products. Key responsibilities include the rotation of backstock, shelf, and cold box inventory, stocking grocery shelves, building product displays using point-of-sale materials, and conducting date checks for product freshness to avoid out-of-date stock.

Additionally, Merchandisers are responsible for generating credit tickets for partial cases of close-dated beer, maintaining strong relationships with account management, delivery associates, sales representatives, and sales management—all vital for fostering teamwork and a cooperative work environment. The role occasionally involves performing sales deliveries, managing pull-up reports, and utilizing company vehicles to travel to various call points within an assigned sales territory.

Candidates for this role must possess a strong attention to detail, time management skills, product knowledge, and proficiency in Microsoft Office and other technologies. Excellent communication traits, both verbal and written, along with a positive attitude and an ability to work effectively within a team, are crucial to success. The position requires the physical capability to handle products weighing between 50-65 pounds, work in both refrigerated and non-temperature controlled environments, and endure various weather conditions.

The working hours typically start early in the morning and continue until the completion of daily tasks, including some weekends and extended hours to meet business demand. United values professionalism and encourages a flexible and customer-focused approach to ensure high standards are maintained. For applicants with disabilities or those needing accommodations during the application process, United is committed to providing assistance and alternative application methods upon request.
