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 vacations, illness, 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 accordance with Red Bull executional standards. After successful participation in and certification through the training program, the ST is eligible to interview for open ASM roles. If no ASM or other qualified position is available and the ST is meeting performance standards, the employee may remain in the role for up to 12 months after program completion or until a qualified role becomes available, whichever comes first. A certified ST must interview for an available ASM or other qualified role. If promotion does not occur before the 12-month completion period ends, the assignment ends unless a manager grants an extension of up to six additional months based on continued high performance, completion of certification, and the absence of open roles. The position is at will.
