Established in ****, Retail Tasker is a Brisbane-based FMCG sales and merchandising brokerage headquartered in Brisbane's inner northern suburbs. The company was founded after its owners recognised the challenges that can arise when large-scale merchandising and sales representation businesses manage extensive portfolios. In response, they created an efficient operating model centred on selecting the optimal combination of brands to maximise outcomes.
The business is focused on ensuring its clients' field investment consistently produces the strongest possible results. Maintaining a carefully selected client portfolio without conflicts means every store call has a defined objective for every client, every time. This approach is underpinned by their guiding principle: "Win on the Shelf."
They are an energetic, quality-driven and fun team entering their next phase of growth. To support this expansion, they are seeking a proactive, dynamic and 'out of the box thinking' field team manager to join the business in this newly established role that could suit an up and coming person with sales, independent retail and people management experience.
Based in Brisbane and reporting directly to the Operations Director, you will lead, manage and develop a field-based team of sales representatives operating across a designated geographic territory within Australia's independent grocery channel. You will be responsible for driving distribution growth, maintaining layout standards, delivering promotional execution, completing planograms and achieving store visit compliance across a portfolio of FMCG clients.
This is a senior operational leadership position that calls for strong people management capability,



commercial acumen and the ability to deliver results simultaneously across multiple clients and states.
