Merchandiser / Trainee Territory Manager – FMCG Grocery
Our Victorian team is growing, with a fifth territory opening next year. You’ll start by working across our four existing territories, learning the business from the shelf up. The plan is for you to step into that fifth territory within 12 months as Territory Sales Manager, with your package increasing to match, including commission.
Key responsibilities
- Keep our range looking its best: facing up, gap checks, FIFO rotation, date checks, and chilled lines kept cold
- Run shelf relays, build displays, and keep pricing and POS right
- Take before-and-after photos every visit, because we judge our work by the shelf we leave behind
- Get new products onto shelf and make launches stick
- Take orders and recommend the right range and pack sizes for each store
- Cover territories when a rep is on leave
- Build relationships with store owners, managers and department heads, and win new store accounts
About you
- Experience in a supermarket, greengrocer or deli, or as a field merchandiser, across grocery, dairy/chilled or fresh produce
- You know planograms and rotation, and you notice straight away when a bay isn’t right
- You want a career in sales (no sales experience needed – we’ll train you)
- You’re reliable and organised, and you stay motivated working on the road on your own
- Confidence talking with store owners and managers
- Full driver’s licence and able to handle physical work, including lifting cartons
