Field sales and retail marketing services across store, experiential, and assisted-sales channels
BDS Connected Solutions operates a distributed field-execution platform serving brand and retail clients through in-store merchandising, assisted sales, training, and installations. The hiring surge is almost entirely sales-focused (127 of 191 active roles, 185 posted in the last 30 days), with junior dominance and accelerating velocity — consistent with a labor-intensive, location-based model scaling across multiple retail zones. Tech stack is deliberately lean (POS, Windows ecosystem, basic productivity tools) and projects cluster around store resets, associate training, and consumer display installations, reflecting boots-on-ground execution rather than platform abstraction.
