Come build the buzz with us

Hive Retail Solutions is a Canadian, merchandising and sales team that helps CPG brands win at store level. We help brands stand out through innovative in-store displays, shelf optimization, and data-driven analytics that boost visibility and sales.

We're looking for a motivated, detail-loving merchandiser to grow with us. If you like being on the go, love a perfectly faced shelf, and enjoy getting to know the people in your stores, you'll fit right in.

Why you'll love it here

This isn't a stock-the-shelf-and-leave job. You'll be the face of the brands we partner with, and the reason their products shine, stay in stock and get noticed. You'll run your own territory with plenty of freedom, backed by a supportive national team that has your back. We live by a simple formula: Relationships + Cadence = Results. You'll see the impact of your work every single day.

What you'll do

•       Execute planograms and rotate stock so shelves stay full, fresh and looking sharp

•       Spot out-of-stocks and fix them on the spot

•       Build real relationships with store managers and department teams, and look for wins like secondary displays and end caps

•       Bring new and innovation opportunities to store and department managers, and pitch them with confidence

•       Sell in incremental cases to support upcoming promos so our brand partners never miss a sale

•       Pitch and successfully land new SKUs, then make sure they hit the shelf and stay there

•       Visit your stores on a regular cadence and audit for compliance, pricing and promo signage

•       Capture photos and share retail insights, wins and challenges so brands can see the results and keep a pulse on what’s happening at store level

•       Bring Hive’s energy, professionalism and pride into every store you walk into

What you bring

•       Excellent Communication Skills

•       A sharp eye for detail and pride in a well-merchandised shelf

•       You're organized, self-motivated and take initiative without needing to be micromanaged

•       You love connecting with people and delivering great service

•       Comfort with tech: smartphone, reporting apps, email and basic Excel/Word

•       A valid driver's licence and a reliable vehicle

•       Experience in merchandising, retail or CPG is an advantage.

What a typical week looks like

•       About 85% of your time is on the road, visiting stores in your territory (no overnight travel)

•       About 15% is spent at your home office, planning visits and wrapping up reports

•       It's an active job: you'll be on your feet for much of the day, bending, lifting (up to 9 kg) and moving products and displays

What we offer

•       Part-time hours that suit your needs, weekdays

•       Competitive pay based on experience: $20 - $24 an hour

•       Vehicle/mileage reimbursement

•       Cell phone allowance

•       A supportive, collaborative team that celebrates wins and helps you grow your career in CPG
