About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed 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 serving customers safely, productively, and professionally in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After successful participation in the training program and certification, the ST may 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 for an available ASM or other qualified role. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month period expires, the assignment ends unless a manager grants an extension of up to six months based on continued high performance, completion of certification, and the absence of open roles. The position is at-will. The role includes learning about Red Bull, its brand and products; preparing for daily sales execution; supporting ASM routes and sales goals; and assisting the team with audits, blitzes, displays, and merchandising.
