About The Position

ScanScape is hiring part-time Retail Scan Associates to collect in-store data at assigned local retailers each week, year-round for 52 weeks, including holiday weeks. Associates visit designated stores and use a downloadable mobile app to scan product barcodes on displays and in aisle locations throughout each store, including end caps. They also report the quantity of about 45% of the products scanned. The collected data is analyzed to improve product and retailer sales performance.

Associates complete weekly Display Scanning across the entire store, which may take several hours, and may also complete Custom Projects that provide clients with more specific product details in main stocking locations. Custom Projects occur almost every week and may add 1–2 hours per store. Associates must meet reporting deadlines and deliver accurate data. The role offers independence and some flexibility in scheduling, subject to store and client requirements.

The base workload averages 4–6 hours per week across all stores, depending on store size and workload. Additional project hours are frequently assigned throughout the year, with higher demand from January through June. The listed route includes grocery stores in Chicago, Evergreen Park, and Chicago Ridge, with available workdays varying by store. Full scheduling details are reviewed during the interview.
