About The Position

ScanScape Retail Scan Associates visit a designated selection of stores each week to scan product barcodes on displays and in aisle locations, including aisle end caps. The collected data is analyzed and used to improve sales performance for products and retailers. Associates use a downloadable app on their mobile phone and provide quantity information for about 45% of the products scanned.

The role involves weekly in-store data collection at assigned local retailers throughout the year, including holiday weeks.

The position averages 6–7 base hours per week across all stores, depending on store size and workload. Additional hours, typically 1–2 per week per store, are frequently assigned for special projects, with higher demand from January through June. Associates must meet weekly deadlines.
