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 servicing customers safely, productively, and professionally in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After 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 employee 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 another qualified role becomes available. If the employee is not promoted before the 12-month completion period expires, the assignment ends unless an exception applies. A manager may extend the completion period by an additional six months when the employee continues to perform highly, has completed certification, and no suitable roles are open. The ST role is at-will. The role includes learning about Red Bull, its brand and products; preparing for daily sales activity; supporting ASMs on and off route; and meeting daily key performance indicators for sales, distribution, pricing, displays, new accounts, and merchandising.
