Sales Merchandiser (Tauranga, Papamoa, Whakatane & Rotorua)

Energizer Holdings is seeking a Sales Merchandiser to help keep in-store experiences strong in Penrose, New Zealand. This role sits in the merchandising team of a global company that talks about collaboration, bold action, and fairness as core values. The team emphasizes flexibility where possible, and the job is on-site within a retail environment. It’s a good fit for someone who enjoys hands-on FMCG merchandising and values a steady, store-by-store rhythm.

As a Sales Merchandiser, you’ll directly influence profitability by making sure displays are well stocked and positioned in prime spots, turning everyday aisles into clear sales opportunities. The work blends relationship-building, especially with store managers and internal sales colleagues, with disciplined execution, so a people-friendly approach helps you succeed in a role that blends field presence with corporate standards.

Keeping prime spots and shelves in line

Your daily routine centers on keeping off-location displays and fixtures aligned with planograms and the company’s instructions. You’ll pre-sell promotions by ordering stock and negotiating the best available off-location positions, while also chasing full compliance for assigned tasks. The role expects you to keep to planned call cycles in coordination with your manager and to monitor stock rotation, moving items from reserves to main fixtures as needed. You’ll ensure out-of-stock lines are ordered, stock is replenished, and promotions stay visible with up-to-date point-of-sale materials. Planogram compliance and core-range distribution are part of your remit, as is confirming pricing tickets are in place and acting quickly on any stock integrity issues. You’ll also follow Energizer policies and procedures, and you’ll report workplace hazards to your supervisor as part of a safety-focused approach.

Advice for applicants

Lead your resume with the hours you can commit. Because the listing specifies a minimum of 20 hours per week with early starts, put your available hours up front so recruiting can see you meet the baseline immediately.

Highlight experience that aligns with in-store execution. Include examples of managing planograms, organizing old-live displays, coordinating stock from reserves to fixtures, and ensuring pricing tickets and POS materials are current. Demonstrate how you’ve kept promotions visible and complied with store plans in past roles.

Be ready to discuss how you’ve worked with store managers and internal sales teams. Have a concrete story about a promotion you pre-sold, how you secured a prime in-store position, and how you handled a stock issue or a stock rotation challenge.

Ask a practical question about scheduling and coverage. Consider asking how many stores you’ll be supporting, how routes are planned, and how peak-season overtime is handled, so you can show you’re thinking ahead about the hands-on nature of the role.
