Sales Trainee

Red Bull•Sarasota, FL

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, servicing customers safely, productively, professionally, and in accordance with Red Bull executional standards. Upon 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 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. Once a role is available, the certified ST must interview for it. 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 an additional six months based on continued high performance, no open roles, and completed certification. The role is at-will, meaning either the company or the ST may end the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. The ST learns the fundamentals of Red Bull, its products and brand, and supports in-store execution and route operations. Responsibilities include preparing for daily work, training with ASMs, covering routes as needed, meeting daily performance indicators, and supporting off-route sales activities. Travel is listed as 0–10. Benefits are eligible; the position is permanent.
