About The Position

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role designed to prepare the employee for an Account Sales Manager (ASM) role. The position supports sales initiatives and provides ASM route coverage 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, servicing customers safely, productively, professionally, and in compliance with Red Bull executional standards. After successfully participating in and completing the training program and certification, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or otherwise 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 occurs first. A manager may extend that period by an additional six months based on continued high performance, completion of certification, and the absence of open roles. Once an ASM or other qualified role is available, the certified ST must interview for it. If promotion does not occur before the assignment period expires and no exception applies, the ST role ends. The role is at-will. The ST learns the basics of Red Bull, Red Bull Distribution Company, its brand and products; supports brand standards and product rotation; prepares for daily execution; trains with ASMs; covers routes as needed; and supports audits, blitzes, displays, and merchandising. The role is permanent, with travel of 0–10. The stated base salary range is $21.47 to $23.73 per hour, with actual offers varying based on work experience.
