Traveling Retail Merchandiser - Overnight

Retail Odyssey is a vibrant and dynamic retail services company operating as part of Advantage Solutions, a leading provider in the retail and shopper marketing industry. With a vast network of over 65,000 teammates, Retail Odyssey proudly serves more than 4,000 brands and retail customers across 40 plus countries. This extensive reach underscores the company’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections between consumers and the products that enrich their lives. The company emphasizes a supportive and growth-oriented work environment, providing its employees ample opportunities and resources to advance their careers while contributing to the evolution of the retail shopping experience.

This particular role within Retail Odyssey is focused on delivering exceptional in-store merchandising support to retail partners. The primary objective of this position is to enhance the shopper’s experience by ensuring that product displays are visually appealing, shelves are reset and rotated appropriately, and inventory levels are meticulously tracked to maximize sales opportunities for both stores and suppliers. As this is a traveling position, the role requires a flexible and dedicated individual who is willing to travel frequently, potentially up to 50 percent or more of their time, to various store locations. This travel component is crucial, as it allows the team member to directly interact with retail environments and contribute effectively to the merchandising efforts on the ground.

The position offers a competitive wage starting at $15.15 per hour and includes the benefits of paid travel with overnight stays, reflecting a commitment to supporting the logistics associated with the travel requirements. Retail Odyssey values growth from within and provides comprehensive training and ongoing team support, ensuring that employees without previous merchandising experience can quickly gain the skills necessary for success. Additional hours beyond the scheduled travel work may be available upon request, providing flexibility and additional earning potential.

Beyond just the core responsibilities, the role encourages candidates who are enthusiastic, customer-focused, and motivated self-starters with strong interpersonal skills. The ideal candidate will be comfortable engaging with customers and management, will be physically capable of performing tasks such as moving, bending, standing, and lifting up to 50 pounds, and will approach their work with a safety-first mentality. Reliable transportation is required due to the travel-based nature of the role, along with a willingness to stay overnight at hotels when on assignment.

In summary, joining Retail Odyssey means becoming part of a forward-thinking company that not only values its people but also actively invests in their professional development. Employees are supported with benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, voluntary supplemental plans, wellness programs, and access to associate discounts. This role is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to enter the retail merchandising field, gain travel experience, and grow within an energetic and expansive network that is shaping the future of shopping experiences worldwide.
