Job description

This is a training role that is made to prepare the Sales Trainee for the Account Sales Manager role. The role primarily is to support sales initiatives and provide route coverage for the ASM during vacation, sickness, injury or any special projects as needed. The ST will work with management to maintain customer relationships between sales, merchandising and operations for all large & small format “off premise” stores. The ST must effectively service all customers in a safe, productive and professional manner in compliance with Red Bull executional standards.

Training

The Sales Trainee (ST) is a training role.

Upon successful participation in the training program, the ST is eligible to interview for open Account Sales Manager (ASM) roles.

Upon completion of the program and certification, if no ASM or otherwise qualified role is available AND the ST is meeting performance standards, the employee may remain in the ST role up to 12‑month or until an ASM or another qualified role is available (whichever comes first).

Once an ASM or another qualified role is available, the certified ST must interview for that available role.

If promotion to the role of Account Sales Manager (or other role) does not happen prior to the expiration of the 12‑month completion period, the Sales Trainee role will be vacated due to end of assignment unless an exception applies.

For exception, based on continued high performance, no open roles and certification completion, a manager may extend the 12‑month completion period an additional 6‑month.

The ST role is an at‑will position, meaning that the Company or ST can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, with or without cause.
