Retail Merchandiser

SFS, Inc. • Dubuque, IA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

SFS is seeking experienced Retail Merchandisers to join its nationwide network of independent contractors. The role offers flexible, supplemental, project-based work supporting major retailers and brands. Clients provide service windows rather than fixed schedules, so contractors can choose projects and arrange their work around assignment requirements. Typical projects range from 12–20 hours per month, and some retailer locations require service during the first two weeks of each month.

Assignments may involve merchandising, product resets, cut-ins, inventory audits, display maintenance, point-of-purchase (POP) installation, product stocking, and other retail support. Contractors use a mobile device to submit required photos and project documentation, and must submit completion reports on the same day the work is performed. Assignments are primarily available during weekday daytime service windows. The position requires travel between retail locations, reliable transportation, and the ability to perform physical tasks, including repeatedly lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds.
