Role Overview

The PepsiCo Foods Full-Time Route Sales Representative position in Bathurst, New Brunswick, is your gateway to an exciting career in the fast-paced consumer-packaged goods (CPG) sector. In this role at Frito-Lay Canada, you will merge sales prowess with hands-on customer service, building and nurturing relationships with retail partners such as grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience outlets. Your primary accountabilities include selling and developing business growth while ensuring seamless delivery and merchandising. This full-time opportunity offers the chance to hit the road, influence shelf space, and drive incremental sales in a supportive environment that rewards initiative and results.

Why This Role Stands Out

Unlike traditional desk jobs, this position gets you out in the field, directly impacting customer satisfaction and business performance. With PepsiCo's powerhouse brands behind you, you'll have the tools to succeed and grow within a company that invests in its people.

Key Responsibilities

As a Route Sales Representative, your days will be filled with action-oriented tasks that directly contribute to PepsiCo's success in the Canadian market.

• Execute hands-on merchandising activities, including managing product placement on shelves, increasing shelf facings and racks, handling carton returns, inventory movement, and cleaning shelving and racks to maintain premium presentation standards.
• Continuously identify evolving customer needs by reviewing performance data on highest-selling products, ensuring your route stays ahead of trends.
• Develop all assigned accounts to achieve targets in sales volume, market share, product distribution, space allocation, and superior customer service.
• Sell and execute national and local promotions, solicit placement of incremental marketing equipment like displays and racks, and manage product inventory to meet customer volume demands.
• Maintain balanced inventory levels across accounts to guarantee fresh products and optimal stock availability, minimizing out-of-stocks and maximizing sales opportunities.

Qualifications & Requirements

To thrive in this role, candidates should bring a mix of practical skills, reliability, and enthusiasm for sales. PepsiCo seeks individuals who are organized, adaptable, and customer-focused.

• Scheduling flexibility, including availability for weekends and holidays as needed.
• Previous sales experience in consumer-packaged goods (CPG) or retail organizations is preferred.
• Outstanding organizational skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities, problem-solve effectively, and consistently meet targets.
