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 vacation, sickness, injury, special projects, or other needs. 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, and professionally in compliance with Red Bull executional standards.

The training program covers Red Bull and Red Bull Distribution Company basics, the brand and its products, brand protection and product rotation, brand flow standards, customer relationships, daily planning and communication, and in-route and off-route sales support. Successful participation and certification make the ST eligible to interview for open ASM roles. After program completion, if no ASM or other qualified role is available and performance standards are met, the employee may remain in the ST role for up to 12 months or until a suitable role becomes available, whichever comes first. A certified ST must interview for an available ASM or other qualified role. If no promotion occurs before the 12-month period expires, the assignment ends unless a manager grants an additional six-month extension based on continued high performance, certification completion, and no open roles. The position is at-will.

The position is permanent and offers a base hourly rate of $25; the actual offer may vary based on work experience, and the pay range may change. Travel is listed as 0–10. Benefits eligibility is indicated.
