About The Position

SFS is seeking experienced Retail Merchandisers to join its nationwide network of independent contractors.

Assignments may include merchandising, product resets, cut-ins, inventory audits, display maintenance, point-of-purchase installation, product stocking, and other retail support activities.

SFS provides retail merchandising, auditing, installation, and assembly services to Fortune 1000 manufacturers and retailers throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Its independent contractor network supports retail projects nationwide.
