Circana • Mount Vernon, IL

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 to help improve product and retailer sales performance. Associates use a downloadable mobile phone app to scan barcodes throughout each store and provide quantities for about 45% of the products scanned.

Associates perform weekly in-store data collection at assigned local retailers for 52 weeks a year, including holiday weeks. The work includes scanning displays throughout the entire store, which can take several hours, and may also include Custom Projects requested by clients. These projects occur almost every week and can add 1–2 hours per store in those weeks. Associates must meet store deadlines and provide dependable, detail-oriented work independently.

This is a permanent part-time role. Base hours average 6–9 hours per week across all stores, depending on store size and workload. Additional hours, typically 1–2 hours per week per store, are frequently assigned for special projects, with higher demand from January through June. Store workdays vary by route: the Salem, Illinois mass merchandise store is available Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday; the listed convenience stores are available Monday through Friday. Scheduling details are reviewed during the interview. The role involves continuous physical activity throughout the workday and offers some independence and flexibility in scheduling.
