About The Position

ScanScape is hiring a permanent part-time Retail Scan Associate to collect in-store product data at assigned local retailers each week for 52 weeks per year, including holiday weeks. The role covers a designated selection of stores and includes scanning product barcodes on displays and in aisle locations, including end caps. Associates use a downloadable app on their mobile phone and provide quantity information for about 45% of the products scanned. Collected data is analyzed to help improve sales performance for products and retailers.

Weekly work includes completing display scans throughout the entire store, which may take several hours, and completing custom projects requested by clients. These projects occur almost every week and can add 30 minutes to 2 hours of work per store. Associates must meet reporting deadlines and deliver accurate data. Base hours average 3–6 hours per week across all stores, depending on store size and workload. Additional special-project hours, typically 1–2 hours per week per store, are frequently assigned throughout the year, with higher demand from January through June. Scheduling details will be reviewed during the interview.
