Sales Trainee

Red Bull•Florence, SC

About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) role. The ST supports sales initiatives and provides route coverage for ASMs during vacations, sickness, injury, or special projects. The role works with management to maintain customer relationships across sales, merchandising, and operations for large- and small-format off-premise stores, while servicing customers safely, productively, professionally, and in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After successful participation in the training program and certification, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or other qualified role is available and the employee meets performance standards, the employee may remain in the ST role for up to 12 months or until a qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first. A certified ST must interview for an available ASM or other qualified role. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month period expires, the assignment ends unless an exception applies. A manager may extend the period by up to six months for a high-performing, certified ST when no roles are open. The position is at will. The ST learns Red Bull and Red Bull Distribution Company, the brand, products, and sales practices; prepares for daily execution with the required tools and priorities; trains with ASMs; covers routes; supports in-store execution; and assists with off-route sales activities. Travel is listed as 0–10. The position is permanent and benefits-eligible.
