Sales Trainee

Red Bull•Carlstadt, NJ

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, 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, professionally, and 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 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 comes first. A certified ST must interview when an ASM or other qualified role becomes available. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month assignment period ends, the role is vacated unless a manager extends the period by up to six additional months based on continued high performance, completed certification, and the absence of open roles. This is an at-will position. The ST learns about Red Bull, its distribution company, brand, and products; supports brand standards and customer relationships; prepares for daily execution; covers ASM routes; works toward sales and in-store execution goals; and supports the team with audits, displays, and merchandising.
