Requirements
  • 3+ years of sales and/or retail experience (wireless retail experience is a big plus)
  • A proven knack for influencing purchase decisions and driving sales results
  • Genuine enthusiasm for technology and consumer electronics — you’re the friend people ask before they buy
  • A polished, engaging presence and the interpersonal skills to connect with anyone — from a first-day associate to a district manager
  • The ability to translate rugged engineering into benefits people care about
  • Self-motivation and organization to manage a multi-store territory independently
  • Full-time access to a vehicle and a valid driver’s license
Responsibilities
  • Sell, Train & Advocate: Bring OtterBox protection to life through live demos and genuine customer conversations that convert browsers into buyers.
  • Deliver memorable, high-energy training that arms retail associates with the confidence to recommend OtterBox first.
  • Put product samples in the right hands to spark interest and drive sales conversion.
  • Build trusted relationships with store associates and managers, turning them into OtterBox advocates long after you leave the store.
  • Own your numbers — drive sales performance and grow OtterBox market share across your territory.
  • Keep the Brand Retail-Ready (Light Merchandising): Refresh OtterBox packaging with updated branding and pricing stickers during store visits — quick, satisfying work that keeps the brand looking as sharp as the products it protects.
  • Ensure displays, fixtures, and point-of-sale materials are current, stocked, and positioned to sell.
  • Flag on-shelf availability issues, outdated signage, or display gaps so nothing gets between the customer and the case.
  • No heavy lifting here — merchandising is a light-touch part of each visit, folded naturally into the selling and training work you’re already doing.

Acosta Group coordinates a network of trusted retail, marketing, and foodservice agencies to help brands grow wherever they are sold. It provides end-to-end support across the consumer journey, including in-store sales execution, training, omnichannel marketing, and data-driven insights.

Its goal is to accelerate brand growth by connecting today’s commerce activities with tomorrow’s opportunities.
