What the job is: This is a part-time job for a Merchandiser with Managed People Solutions, based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, Western Cape. The company works in the wine and spirits industry, and they are looking for someone with experience in merchandising fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). If you love making sure products look great in stores and enjoy working with brands, this could be the perfect role for you.

What you will do: As a Merchandiser, your main job will be to keep stores looking their best and ensure products are always available and well-presented. You will start by checking which products need to be arranged or restocked. Your role includes making sure the right stock is in the store, checking that products are in good condition, priced correctly, and displayed according to company rules. You will also handle customer concerns or questions about products and keep records of your work.

Another important part of the job is spotting and reporting products that are out of stock so they can be fixed quickly. You will need to stay updated on new products, promotions, and any changes in the company’s merchandising standards. You will visit stores on a set schedule and report any opportunities or issues to your Regional Sales Manager. Your attention to detail will help keep the store looking professional and attractive to customers.

What you need: To apply for this job, you must have completed Matric (Grade 12). You should have at least 12 months of experience working in FMCG merchandising, which means you’ve worked in a store or warehouse arranging products for well-known brands. Some basic knowledge of spirits is helpful, but not always required if you’re willing to learn. Strong communication skills are a must because you’ll be talking to store staff, customers, and managers.

You need to be very organized, reliable, and able to work on your own without constant supervision. Paying close attention to details is important, as small mistakes can affect how products look in stores. If you’re energetic, hardworking, and enjoy making sure everything is in order, this job is a great fit for you.

What you will get: While the job posting does not mention a salary, this is a part-time opportunity with the chance to work in a fast-paced industry. You’ll gain valuable experience in merchandising, which can help you grow in your career. The role offers flexibility and the chance to work independently while contributing to the success of well-known brands in the wine and spirits sector.
