About The Position

SFS is seeking experienced Retail Merchandisers to join its nationwide network of independent contractors. This role offers flexible, supplemental income while servicing major retailers and brands.

Assignments may involve merchandising, product resets, cut-ins, inventory audits, display maintenance, point-of-purchase (POP) installation, product stocking, and other retail support activities. Contractors review project instructions, complete work according to client requirements, and submit reports and photos using a mobile device on the same day services are performed. Contractors may travel between retail locations as desired and accepted.
