About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role intended to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) position. The ST supports sales initiatives and provides route coverage for ASMs during vacation, 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 accordance with Red Bull executional standards. After successfully participating in the training program and completing certification, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or other qualified role is available and the ST 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 when an ASM or other qualified position becomes available. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month period ends, the assignment ends unless a manager extends the period by up to six additional months based on continued high performance, certification completion, and lack of open roles. The position is at-will; either the Company or the ST may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. The ST learns the basics of Red Bull, its distribution company, brand, and products; helps protect the brand through proper product rotation and brand flow; and develops professional customer relationships to support sales. The role involves preparing for daily plans, communicating priorities with ASMs and DSMs, training with ASMs, covering routes, meeting sales and merchandising KPIs, and supporting audits, blitzes, displays, and merchandising off route.
