Field Collection Specialist

RetailData LLC is hiring for a Field Collection Specialist to join the team in Mena, Arkansas. This onsite, full-time role puts you in the field, visiting local stores to gather data and complete collection tasks within the stores’ open hours. The company frames the work as essential and values accountability, respect, and trust in its team.

The position is built for people who prefer practical training, clear expectations, and a hands-on role in retail environments. You’ll find a casual dress code and the chance to shape a stable schedule within the window the store is open, with room to adjust to personal commitments as needed. The opportunity comes with a structured onboarding and a path to develop new skills over time.

You’ll notice a focus on developing your capabilities from day one, including a comprehensive initial training program to ensure you fully understand what the job requires. The compensation is described as productivity-based, with a guaranteed minimum and potential upside as you grow your aptitude and proficiency in delivering projects for the company. Benefits include identity theft protection and a 401k with match, along with paid drive time and mileage reimbursement. Flexible work schedules are emphasized to support a healthy work-life balance, and there are opportunities for ongoing learning and development.

The fieldwork rhythm you’ll own

On a typical day, you start with the onboarding and training that prepares you to meet project criteria with accuracy. After that, you use a company pricing app on your smartphone to receive assignments and navigate the day’s workflow, performing field collection in assigned stores. You’ll operate within the stores’ open hours, which gives you the chance to plan and manage your schedule while staying productive. Part of the role involves moving between stores and completing tasks that rely on careful attention to detail, timely execution, and the ability to stay organized under real-world conditions. The job includes paid travel time where applicable and requires you to physicaly engage in tasks that may involve standing for long periods and lifting up to 40 pounds, as well as working in cold temperatures inside refrigerators or freezers when needed.

The team aims to balance field coverage with reliability, so you’ll be judged by your ability to start and finish assignments on time and by how well you meet the project criteria. While the work is rooted in in-store data collection, you’ll still operate in a collaborative environment that supports skill-building and professional development as you gain proficiency in completing projects for the company.

Must-have requirements, then nice-to-haves

Essential qualifications you need to bring to the job include the following:

• You're at least 18 years old
• You hold a high school diploma or an equivalent credential
• You own a smartphone and can download the company pricing app to receive and complete assignments
• You have a valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and valid auto insurance
• You can reliably start and finish assignments on schedule with careful attention to detail
• You can stand for extended periods and can lift as much as 40 pounds occasionally
• You’re willing to work in cold temperatures that are common in grocery store refrigerators and freezers for certain projects

There are no additional nice-to-have qualifications listed in the information provided.

Pay, benefits and practical details you can expect

The role offers a productivity-based pay structure that includes a guaranteed minimum, with the potential to earn more as your proficiency grows. Training is described as comprehensive, ensuring you understand what’s expected from the start, and the company supports your career development with opportunities to learn and advance. Benefits mentioned include identity theft protection and a 401k with match, plus paid drive time and mileage reimbursement. The work style is onsite, with flexible schedules within the stores’ hours to support a reasonable work–life balance, and casual dress is acceptable on the floor. Your scheduling and assignments are organized around the store’s opening times, and you’ll have the chance to develop practical field experience in a real retail setting.

As part of the practical considerations, you’ll be operating in environments that can require lifting and standing, and you’ll be working in cooler store areas on occasion. Travel between stores is part of the role, with paid drive time and mileage reimbursement to offset those duties. Work authorization and more specific logistics beyond the basics aren’t listed, but the essential requirements cover age, education, licensing, and driving privileges that enable you to perform the job effectively.

Advice for applicants

First, place the essentials up front on your resume. Highlight that you meet the minimum age and education requirements, that you have a working smartphone and the app-ready to receive tasks, and that you hold a valid driver’s license with a clean record and reliable transportation. Make it easy for a recruiter to see you fit the core criteria at a glance.

Second, prove you can handle the must-haves in concrete terms. Include examples of times you started and finished assignments on schedule, demonstrated attention to detail, or operated in environments requiring physical stamina, standing for long periods or lifting up to 40 pounds. If you’ve used field data collection or inventory apps before, describe those experiences succinctly with outcomes.

Third, prepare for interviews by mapping your past scheduling or availability to a flexible window that aligns with store hours. Be ready to discuss your approach to working in cold environments and how you manage tasks that require precision in a field setting. Have a few concrete scenarios ready that show your ability to adapt to changing assignments and maintain accuracy under pressure.

Finally, think of a smart question to ask that pulls from what’s most relevant to this role. For example, you could ask how success is measured on a typical field collection assignment and what a guaranteed minimum pay translates to in practice for a busy week. You might also inquire about the training program’s scope and what development opportunities are available as you gain proficiency in completing projects for the company.
