• Create genuine, impactful connections that inspire consumer exploration and understanding.
• Approach adult consumers using icebreakers to drive interest.
• Foster curiosity and highlighting the evidence-based benefits of switching to alternative products.
• Guide registration process and sales where applicable and permitted.
• Maintain professionalism, compliance, and consumer experience standards at all touchpoints.
• Collect feedback and insights to support program optimization.

Your Schedule

• Wednesdays (10 AM – 4 PM): In-person team training and planning sessions.

• Exceptional communication skills in English, with multilingual abilities highly valued
• Confidence in high-energy, nightlife, or event environments
• A collaborative mindset and ability to work within a performance-driven team
