Merchandiser, Retail

Ken Grossman started Sierra Nevada in 1980 with a hand‑built brewhouse and the odds stacked against him. That passion forever changed the course of American craft brewing and launched a beer revolution that's in full force today. Turns out, good beer can do a lot of good, and Sierra Nevada became a cornerstone for both its innovation and its care for the Earth and its people.

We’re committed to advancing a culture of inclusion and believe diversity in all its forms makes us stronger. We keep pushing boundaries, whether that’s in the brewhouse, with sustainability, or in the great outdoors.

The Merchandiser supports our Chico Route sales team, partnering with route drivers and sales reps to ensure SNBC products are fresh and within code, and well‑represented at local retail accounts in the Chico area. Key duties include inventory checks, stock rotation, restocking shelves/coolers and building/restocking displays, and updating current POS at local retail accounts. Additionally, this position is responsible for developing strong relationships in the market and promoting SNBC brands while providing best in class service.

This role is an excellent opportunity to start in the beer industry and can lead to further advancement opportunities within the Chico Route sales and delivery team.

We’re committed to our employees and work hard to prove it. For starters, we’re offering $18.08 to $27.93 hourly compensation for this role. Individual offers are based on skills, experience, and qualifications, and geographical location. But base pay is just the beginning. We support your future by offering a generous 10% company match on 401(k) contributions, providing learning and development opportunities, and fostering your safety at work with ongoing trainings, state‑of‑the‑art equipment, and preventative care.
