Remote Coca‑Cola Brand Sales Merchandiser – Full‑Training Entry‑Level Role Driving Shelf‑Presence & Consumer Engagement

About Coca‑Cola: A Legacy of Refreshment and Innovation

Founded over a century ago, The Coca‑Cola Company has grown from a single‑bottle operation in Atlanta, Georgia, into a global powerhouse that touches the lives of billions of consumers every day. Our portfolio spans more than 500 sparkling and still brands, ranging from the iconic Coca‑Cola Classic to innovative low‑calorie, zero‑sugar, and functional beverage options. Yet, the core of our success remains the same: an unwavering commitment to delivering moments of happiness, fostering community, and championing sustainability.

In a rapidly evolving retail landscape, the role of the Sales Merchandiser has never been more pivotal. As a brand ambassador who works from the comfort of your own home, you will partner with a network of retailers, distributors, and fellow Coca‑Cola teammates to ensure the brand’s presence is felt on every shelf, in every cold‑storage case, and on every point‑of‑sale display. If you are passionate about consumer trends, love the idea of a career that blends creativity with data‑driven decisions, and are eager to grow within a world‑renowned organization, read on.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike many entry‑level positions that require years of prior experience, Coca‑Cola has designed this role to be a launchpad for ambitious individuals who crave growth. You will receive a comprehensive, on‑the‑job training program that covers product knowledge, merchandising best practices, order management, and the technology tools that power our supply chain. Our remote‑first philosophy means you can thrive in a flexible environment while still being part of a vibrant, supportive community.

Key Responsibilities – What Your Day Will Look Like

• Merchandising Excellence: Build, maintain, and refresh product displays, point‑of‑sale (POS) signage, and refrigeration equipment to meet Coca‑Cola’s brand standards across all assigned accounts.
• Inventory Management: Monitor shelf inventory, back‑stock levels, and cold‑case allocations. Conduct regular “face‑and‑spin” checks to ensure products are front‑facing and properly rotated.
• Order Placement & Forecasting: Utilize Coca‑Cola’s ordering platform to submit accurate, timely orders aligned with advertising calendars and consumer demand. Adjust quantities based on sales trends, promotional activity, and store feedback.
• Customer Relationship Building: Serve as the primary point of contact for store managers and retail partners, delivering superior service, resolving issues swiftly, and identifying upsell opportunities.
• Data Collection & Reporting: Conduct store surveys, document equipment service needs, and relay critical account activity to internal teams through clear, concise communication channels.
• Back‑Room Organization: Keep the stockroom orderly, ensuring that product flow is efficient and that safety standards are upheld at all times.
• Compliance & Safety: Adhere to Coca‑Cola’s policies, dress‑code, and safety protocols. Promptly report any unsafe conditions or equipment concerns to maintain a secure working environment.
• Attendance & Availability: Maintain punctuality, fulfill scheduled shifts, and be prepared for overtime or special assignments during peak promotional periods.

Essential Qualifications – What You Need to Succeed

• High school diploma or equivalent; an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Supply Chain, or a related field is a plus.
• Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—to interact confidently with retail partners and internal stakeholders.
• Basic numeric aptitude and comfort using spreadsheets or order‑entry systems.
• Self‑motivation and the ability to work independently while staying aligned with team goals.
• Reliable high‑speed internet connection, a dedicated workspace, and a device capable of running Coca‑Cola’s merchandising software.
• Flexibility to adjust work hours to accommodate retailer opening times, promotional events, and occasional weekend or evening shifts.

Preferred Qualifications – What Will Set You Apart

• Previous experience in retail, sales, or merchandising—even on a part‑time or volunteer basis.
• Familiarity with inventory management concepts such as FIFO (first‑in, first‑out) and POS analytics.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel; experience with Salesforce, SAP, or other ERP platforms is advantageous.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze sales data and translate insights into actionable merchandising decisions.
• A passion for consumer‑focused brands and a genuine interest in the beverage industry.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Customer‑Centric Mindset: Anticipate retailer needs and provide solutions that enhance the shopper experience.
• Organizational Agility: Juggle multiple accounts, deadlines, and inventory tasks without sacrificing detail‑orientation.
• Problem‑Solving: Identify issues (e.g., stockouts, equipment malfunctions) quickly and implement effective remedies.
• Adaptability: Thrive in a fast‑changing environment where promotions, seasonal trends, and consumer preferences shift regularly.
• Team Collaboration: Contribute ideas, share best practices, and support colleagues across sales, marketing, and operations.
• Digital Fluency: Comfort with remote‑work tools, video conferencing, and cloud‑based platforms for reporting and communication.
• Integrity & Accountability: Uphold Coca‑Cola’s ethical standards, maintain accurate records, and own the outcomes of your actions.
