About The Position

SFS is seeking experienced Retail Merchandisers to join its nationwide network of independent contractors. This opportunity offers flexible, supplemental income while providing retail support for major retailers and brands. Clients provide service windows rather than fixed schedules, so contractors can set their schedules while completing project requirements. Projects typically range from 12–20 hours per month, and some locations require service during the first two weeks of each month. Assignments may include merchandising, product resets, cut-ins, inventory audits, display maintenance, point-of-purchase installations, stocking, and other retail support activities. Contractors may travel between accepted assignments and use a mobile device to submit project photos and documentation on the day services are completed.
