About this role
C.A. Fortune is hiring a Temporary Grocery Merchandiser to manage retail execution in the Joliet area through February 2027. You'll work full-time (37–40 hours weekly) visiting assigned grocery stores to stock products, conduct audits, maintain distribution, and ensure client merchandise is properly represented on shelves. The role involves regular physical work—lifting up to 50 pounds, bending, and standing for extended periods—alongside mobile app reporting, photo documentation, and communication with store teams. You'll work largely independently but need to attend occasional client calls and coordinate with team leads.
The position suits someone with reliable transportation, a valid driver's license, and a smartphone with current service. Retail, sales, or merchandising experience is helpful but not required; what matters most is the ability to follow directions, communicate clearly, and work unsupervised in a fast-paced environment.
