Graduate Management Trainee – Pop-Up Sales Associate Opportunity

Santa Ana, CA | In-Person | Entry-Level | Weekly Pay


Bring your energy, personality, and people skills — we’ll bring the platform for you to shine.


If the idea of sitting behind a desk all day makes you yawn, this might be your perfect fit.


We’re hiring Graduate Management Trainees to support vibrant pop-up sales events across Santa Ana. You’ll represent well-known consumer brands at high-traffic locations like shopping centers, outdoor festivals, and community events, engaging with the public face-to-face and creating memorable customer experiences.


This is a full-time, on-site opportunity, with real growth potential for those serious about kickstarting their careers in sales, leadership, and business development.


A Day in the Life

You might be setting up a brand activation booth, helping demo a trending tech product at an outdoor street market, or coordinating with your team to launch a weekend promo event in downtown Santa Ana. Every day is different — fast-paced, interactive, and results-driven.


What You’ll Do

  • Set up and run branded pop-up events in malls, outdoor spaces, and other busy public areas
  • Approach and engage customers with confidence, enthusiasm, and authenticity
  • Share product knowledge, answer questions, and help customers make informed choices
  • Maintain a clean, inviting, and on-brand event display
  • Track daily metrics and celebrate wins with your team
  • Receive hands-on mentorship, regular performance feedback, and structured career coaching
  • Progress into Team Lead roles and Regional Supervisor opportunities for high performers


What We’re Looking For

  • A natural people-person who thrives in social environments
  • Reliable and proactive, with a strong work ethic and a positive attitude
  • Comfortable working in public spaces, interacting with diverse customers
  • Can reliably commute to Santa Ana and various local event locations in Orange County
  • Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (we do not provide visa sponsorship)
  • No previous sales experience required — we provide full training


What You’ll Gain

  • Weekly base pay performance-based bonuses
  • Real leadership development — move from trainee to team lead within months
  • Ongoing mentorship, coaching, and training from experienced team leaders
  • Hands-on experience in brand presentation, consumer engagement, and sales strategy
  • Team socials, regular recognition, and a supportive, growth-focused community
  • Occasional team trips, leadership summits, and brand-hosted events for top performers


Ready to Take the First Step?

If you’re ready for a role that’s as social as it is rewarding — and you want to build real skills, fast — we want to meet you.
