About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) position. The role supports sales initiatives and provides route coverage for ASMs during vacation, sickness, injury, or special projects. The ST works with management to maintain customer relationships across sales, merchandising, and operations for large- and small-format off-premise stores, serving customers safely, productively, and professionally in accordance with Red Bull executional standards. The position includes training in Red Bull and Red Bull Distribution Company, the brand and products, in-store execution, customer relationships, daily planning, and route support. After successful participation in the program and 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 after program completion, or until a qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first. A manager may extend that period by an additional six months in specified circumstances, including continued high performance, certification completion, and no open roles. Once a qualified position is available, the certified ST must interview for it. If no promotion occurs before the completion period expires, the assignment ends unless an exception applies.
