Field Consultant 2554 Alexandria, VA - Full-time / Part-time

Overview

We believe that to be effective leaders at 7-Eleven, we must think about the needs of our guests and our teams before we tend to our own needs. We call this Servant Leadership, and it's the foundation of everything we do here. As Servant Leaders, we are guided by core values that we live by every day. These values help us serve our guests, our teams and our communities. They are the heart of 7-Eleven and what makes us who we are.

To support the growth we are experiencing, we are adding talented leaders to our field organization in various locations across the United States. Field consultants are crucial to implementing national and local initiatives in the stores. They are a vital link ensuring we have what our guest's want, when they want it and as much as they want.

Being a 7-Eleven Field Consultant isn't easy. In fact, it's pretty challenging. We believe great training is the foundation for exceptional performance. Therefore, we provide a comprehensive development program which includes an extensive in-store process covering all aspects of store operations including fresh food and merchandising concepts, operating procedures, and financial information. You'll turn principle into practice as you manage your own store and gain valuable, first-hand experience. You'll also work with an experienced Field Consultant to enhance your consulting and influencing skills.
