RetailData LLC is actively seeking a Field Collection Specialist to join its Missoula, Montana on-site team. This full-time role focuses on field data collection within retail environments, with training provided to get you up to speed quickly. The company frames this work as essential and adds that it can be a solid fit for military spouses seeking supplemental income.
The team notes that immediate openings are available, and the position offers a chance to contribute to a business they describe as driven by accountability, respect and trust. If building a practical, data-driven career appeals to you, this could be a good match.
This opportunity is presented as a chance to work in the field in a real-world setting, with an emphasis on getting data right on the ground. It’s described as a role that supports flexible scheduling and ongoing learning, with an eye toward reliable, steady work in Missoula.
What the day-to-day looks like in the field
As a field collection specialist, you’ll begin with a thorough training program to understand what’s expected and how success is measured. After that, you’ll receive assignments through a smartphone app and head to local stores to collect data that meets project criteria, carrying out tasks in a way that supports accurate pricing information and tracking. The job includes drive time and mileage reimbursement, and you’ll be moving between assignments as needed to keep projects on track.
You should expect a mix of driving, store visits and data collection activities, with a focus on completing tasks on schedule and with careful attention to detail. Some days will involve working in grocery-store environments where cold temperatures are part of the workflow, so be prepared for that reality. The role also values flexibility and offers schedules designed to balance work with life outside the field.
What you need to bring to the job
You’ll need to meet a few core prerequisites to be considered. You must be at least 18 years old. A high school diploma or an equivalent credential is necessary. You’ll need a smartphone capable of running the company’s pricing app and receiving work assignments. A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and valid auto insurance are required. You must demonstrate reliability by starting and finishing assignments on time with the level of detail the projects demand. You should be able to stand for extended periods and lift up to 40 pounds intermittently. And you must be willing to work in cold temperatures inside grocery store refrigerators and freezers when projects require it.
Compensation and practical details
The pay structure is productivity-based, featuring a guaranteed minimum along with the potential for additional earnings as you improve your skills and complete more projects. A comprehensive initial training program is part of the onboarding, so you’ll know exactly what’s expected from day one. For part-time team members, identity theft protection and a 401k with match are included, alongside optimized, flexible work schedules, paid drive time and mileage reimbursement, and opportunities for ongoing learning and development. The company presents this as essential-business work, with a strong emphasis on accountability, respect and trust. The role is onsite in Missoula, MT, and the description notes the company’s equal-opportunity stance.
