They partner with leading brands and retailers to lift sales and improve customer experiences through merchandising, field teams, brand activations, training, mystery shopping and audits. The company’s approach centres on hands-on in-store execution and delivering memorable shopping moments. They’re looking for a Visual Merchandiser and Brand Ambassador to join the Hamilton, New Zealand team, working onsite.

Advice for applicants

Lead your resume with a snapshot of your in-store merchandising or coffee-demo experience so the recruiter sees the fit right away.

Show evidence you can work independently, including any examples of autonomous task completion, plus your availability across both weekdays and weekends and that you own a car.

Be ready to describe a time you set up a display and kept it tidy, and to walk through a coffee demonstration you’ve run, including how you explained the machine features and benefits to customers.

Ask about the typical store mix in Hamilton and how promotion periods affect scheduling, and inquire what the onboarding training will cover so you know what to expect from day one.
