Job Description

BDS Connected Solutions is a dynamic leader in the retail merchandising and connected commerce industry, specializing in providing innovative solutions for consumer electronics and a variety of retail environments. Established in 1985 and headquartered in Irvine, California, with a regional office in New York City, BDS has built a strong reputation for blending advocacy, training, retail, virtual, experiential, and digital environments to influence modern buyers throughout their shopping journeys. The company is dedicated to offering customized buying solutions that enable brands to exceed their sales goals by leveraging the expertise of industry-leading professionals who constantly innovate and adapt to market disruptions. As an equal opportunity employer, BDS ensures a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are valued and given the chance to grow both personally and professionally. Their commitment to employee development is evident through comprehensive training programs, dedicated managerial support, and promotion opportunities within the company.

The Retail Merchandising Specialist role at BDS Connected Solutions offers a unique and fulfilling part-time opportunity for individuals who thrive in independent, hands-on work environments and enjoy collaborating with well-known consumer electronics brands. The position is structured to provide flexible scheduling, requiring a minimum of 20 hours per week, primarily Monday through Friday between early morning and midday, with occasional weekend hours during busier periods. Employees are compensated with a competitive hourly wage of $17.00, paid on a weekly basis, and have access to early wage advances to ensure financial flexibility.

This role entails travelling to assigned retail locations within a designated territory to perform merchandising tasks such as auditing, maintaining, and installing consumer electronics displays and products—including TVs, tablets, headphones, speakers, printers, and phones. Retail Merchandising Specialists also occasionally collaborate with team members on larger multi-person projects like appliance or TV installations. BDS supports its specialists through paid virtual and in-store training, instructional videos accessible via a user-friendly app, and a virtual call center providing live support. Field Managers are assigned to ensure ongoing guidance and help specialists succeed in their roles.

Successful candidates will be proficient with personal Android or Apple devices to report assignment data and access documentation, and must bring their own basic toolkit needed for product installation and display maintenance. The position requires physical stamina and the ability to regularly lift over 40 pounds, climb ladders, and operate moving equipment such as forklifts when necessary. Reliable transportation and the ability to travel up to a 60-mile radius within the designated market are also required, with all travel time and mileage compensated by BDS.

At BDS, employees are part of a network known as Channel Partners, which unites individuals across various brands like Apollo, MAG, White Hawk, and BTR, sharing one purpose and providing ample opportunities for career growth in a supportive and rewarding environment. Whether you are experienced in retail, customer service, or merchandising, or are new to the industry, BDS invests in your success by offering paid training, competitive wages, and a variety of part-time and full-time roles designed to foster consistent income and professional advancement. Join BDS Connected Solutions and embark on a fulfilling career path with a company that values innovation, employee empowerment, and ongoing development.
