About the Role
We are hiring dedicated Merchandisers to assist with brand activations in independent retail and grocery stores across the region.

The role involves fixing and fitting fixtures, setting up in-store promotion materials, and maintaining visually appealing product layouts to drive sales.
Ideal candidates will have retail or merchandising experience, especially in health & beauty or consumer packaged goods (CPG), though we provide full training. Experience in brands like Boots, department stores, or premium beauty chains is a bonus.
Equally important is your ability to work independently, your communications skills, and your reliability. You’ll be using your own car (essential, as you’ll carry promotional materials), as well as a phone/tablet to report tasks and send photos.
