About Our Role

We’re looking for a Sales Support Representative (SSR) to support both Corporate grocery accounts (Woolworths & Coles) and Independent retailers across the Bundaberg and Fraser Coast regions - think Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Maryborough and the smaller surrounding suburbs. This hybrid role means you’ll adapt your approach depending on store type - supporting planograms and promotional execution in majors, while building strong relationships and influencing outcomes within independents.

 

This is a permanent part‑time position (2026 hours/week) across weekdays only. You’ll ensure our products are well presented, stocked and shopper‑ready, and partner with store teams to bring displays and promotions to life. It’s a hands‑on field role where you’ll see the impact of your work daily and build a well-rounded skillset across both retail channels.

What You'll Do

  • Review and implement store layouts to ensure Simplot products are well presented and easy to find
  • Create and maintain attractive in-store displays with attention to detail
  • Build strong relationships with store managers and key decision-makers
  • Execute sales and field plans effectively across your territory
  • Listen, plan, and deliver solutions that meet store needs and objectives
  • Take pride in achieving territory goals and contributing to team success

About You

  • Experience working across both Corporate (Woolworths/Coles) and Independent grocery stores
  • Background in retail, merchandising, or FMCG sales support
  • Strong organisation and self‑motivation, with the ability to plan your day and execute in‑store tasks independently
  • A positive, energetic approach and the ability to build strong, lasting relationships with a variety of store teams
  • Comfort with hands‑on, physical work in store environments
  • Confidence using digital tools for reporting and communication
  • A valid driver’s licence and reliable vehicle

Ready to Make an Impact?

If you’re looking for a hands‑on role where you can build strong store relationships, keep things moving, and see the results of your work every day, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Applications close Friday 17th April. Simplot reserves the right to commence recruiting activity prior to closing date.
