The Role

 

Here at Royal Canin we have a rare and exciting opportunity for a merchandiser to join our sales team. In this role you will support the Sales Executives in executing “perfect store” merchandising strategies, promotional activations, and shelf relays.

 

Part of a highly energised and passionate team, both locally and nationally, you will not only ensure shelves and off-location displays are stocked and displayed in-line with company standards in pet specialty retail stores but also achieve the goals of quality, service and profit, through supporting one another and sharing successes.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity to accelerate your career within a business that has a strong focus on both career and personal development and will be a great steppingstone into Sales and the Mars business.

 

What are we looking for?

• Previous FMCG and/or retail, customer service experience required;
• Demonstrated merchandising skills;
• The ability to build relationships with a varied customer base;
• A hunger and curiosity to learn and become a product expert;
• Valid Drivers’ License.

 

What would be your key responsibilities?

• Ensuring “perfect store” merchandising strategies are adhered to in all stores;
• Checking product is present and ticketed on shelf, recording out of stocks and communicating these to the store buyer;
• Monitoring Key Accounts, ensuring all compliance checks are completed and communicated to the appropriate Key Account team member;
• Ensuring stock rotation of product on shelf, communicating any short-dated or expired stock to the Sales Executive;
• Measuring individual stores “share of shelf” to ensure allocation of the appropriate shelf space for our products;
• Responding to customer queries and providing recommendations on Royal Canin products.

 

What can you expect from Mars?

• Awarded #4 in the Best Places to Work Australia survey for 2020;
• Genuine focus on your development with access to world class training;
• Global health and wellbeing program to support work-life balance;
• Opportunity to make a difference with our volunteer and ambassador programs;
• Work within an environment where pets really are our best friends, with dogs in the office.
