SFS is growing, and we're looking for experienced Retail Merchandisers to join our nationwide network of independent contractors. This is an excellent opportunity for self-motivated professionals seeking flexible, supplemental income while servicing some of the nation's largest retailers and brands.

Our clients provide service windows rather than specific work schedules, allowing you a flexible schedule that works for you while meeting project requirements.

Assignments may include merchandising, product resets, cut-ins, inventory audits, display maintenance, POP installation, product stocking, and other retail support activities. Typical projects range from 12–20 hours per month, with some retailer locations requiring service during the first two weeks of each month.

If you enjoy working independently, staying active, and delivering high-quality retail execution, we'd love to connect with you.

  • Choose the projects that fit your availability
  • Supplemental income opportunities
  • Competitive project-based pay

  • Opportunities to service multiple retailers and brands

 

What You'll Do

  • Review project instructions and client expectations before each assignment
  • Execute merchandising projects according to client requirements
  • Perform product resets, cut-ins, display maintenance, and promotional installations
  • Remove discontinued or outdated products and materials
  • Conduct inventory counts and product scanning activities
  • Stock and organize merchandise according to planograms and merchandising standards
  • Ensure displays are clean, organized, and accurately presented
  • Travel between retail locations as desired and accepted
  • Complete required reporting, including photos and project documentation, using a mobile device
  • Submit project completion reports on the same day services are performed

 

Skills & Qualifications

  • Previous merchandising, retail, reset, auditing, or customer service experience preferred
  • Ability to read and execute planograms and merchandising instructions
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple assignments
  • Effective communication and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable using mobile technology for reporting and project documentation
  • Available to complete assignments during retailer service windows, primarily weekday daytime hours
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 40 pounds repeatedly
  • Ability to bend, stoop, reach, kneel, and stand for extended periods
  • Reliable transportation for travel between assigned retail locations
  • Smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS) with internet access
  • Active email address for project communication and reporting
  • Ability to submit project completion reports and photos on the same day work is performed
