About The Position

SFS is seeking experienced Retail Merchandisers to join its nationwide network of independent contractors. The role offers flexible, supplemental income while servicing major retailers and brands. Clients provide service windows rather than fixed schedules, and assignments may include merchandising, product resets, cut-ins, inventory audits, display maintenance, POP installation, product stocking, and other retail support activities. Typical projects range from 12–20 hours per month; some retailer locations require service during the first two weeks of each month. Assignments are project-based, and contractors can choose projects that fit their availability and travel between retail locations as desired and accepted. Contractors use a mobile device to submit project documentation, including photos, and must submit completion reports on the same day services are performed. Assignments are primarily available during weekday daytime service windows.
