What days & hours will I work?

Our merchandising reps enjoy the flexibility in scheduling.
Hours will fluctuate depending on time of year and business need.

What does it take to be an ActionLink Merchandiser?

ActionLink has a great relationship with our technology clients and retail partners, so it is important that each of our merchandisers be organized and motivated self-starters who can work independently and be counted on to get their work done on time, every time in the best possible way. They must be able to communicate effectively with employees in their stores to get the job done smoothly.

Some merchandising projects can be physical. This position requires lifting up to 50 pounds on a regular basis, standing for hours at a time, frequently reaching above and below the shoulders, kneeling, bending, and crouching. Occasional use of ladders may be required.

Our merchandisers work quickly and efficiently using their smart devices and personal computers to retrieve instructions and complete all project reporting, so having a smart device that uses an iOS or Android operating system and has a data plan is important. We also utilize a state-of-the-art web-based system so all employees need to have regular access to a computer with Internet access, email, and a printer.

It is each merchandisers responsibility to get to their work site, so reliable transportation is a must.

Online training is provided for all merchandising employees.
We also support our merchandisers through a dedicated field management team and phone-in tech support call center.
While our merchandisers work independently, they are not alone! It is our goal to ensure that you will have all the training, tools, and on-the-job resources you need to succeed.

* Must be at least 18 years of age
* Must be legally authorized to work in the U. S.
