The Role:
You would be working closely with our General Manager to execute our sales strategy. The regions outside of Wānaka, like QT, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Southland are integral parts of our future growth strategy. So being on the road to these areas each week will be part of the role. Multi day trips to Dunedin and Chch are needed every month meaning you will regularly be on the road for 3-4 days at a time.
The role will also involve; On Premise staff tastings, training, and educational workshops. The On Premise market is the primary focus of our business. So familiarity with On Premise over Off Premise will be favoured. We attend a lot of events which are primarily on the weekend. You will not need to attend everyone, but sharing the load with the team is important, and it’s an important part of the sales responsibilities.
We’re still a small business, so when you’re at the brewery processing orders, picking, packing, and doing deliveries are all part of the role. Our team works incredibly hard, so helping them out and creating a collaborative team culture is vital.

Preference will be given to local candidates who are able to start immediately. A minimum of 1 in person interview and a short trial period helping in the brewery will also be needed.
