About Us
Conceived in 2011 out of a love for good beer, Parrotdog continues what we started at our Lyall Bay brewery: making approachable, award-winning craft beer. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a commercial, well-connected sales professional to expand our presence across the vibrant Auckland on-premise scene.
The Opportunity
This is a high-impact, autonomous part-time position (2–3 days per week, tailored to the right candidate) focused on new business acquisition. As the face of Parrotdog in Auckland, you will hunt for new accounts, secure permanent taps and packaged beer supply agreements, and build long-term commercial partnerships across bars, restaurants, caterers, and hospitality groups.
Key Responsibilities

- Commercial Negotiation: Own the end-to-end sales process—from initial contact to negotiating pourage agreements, equipment support, and commercial investment.
- Relationship Management: Build strong connections with venue owners, buyers, and group decision-makers, while supporting existing accounts to ensure sustainable long-term value.
- Hosting & Activations: Represent the brand at customer events, tastings, and activations to build advocacy and drive commercial momentum.
- Pipeline & CRM Management: Maintain accurate pipeline tracking and account activity using Opmetrix CRM, delivering concise weekly insights on market trends and growth opportunities.

- Proven On-Premise Experience: Demonstrated track record in beverage or hospitality sales within the Auckland market.
- Established Industry Network: Existing relationships across Auckland hospitality operators, bars, and group buyers.
- Strong Sales Mindset: Proactive, resilient, and commercially driven to open doors and secure new distribution.
- Negotiation Skills: Ability to structure sound commercial deals (agreements, tap installations, investments) that deliver win-win outcomes.
- Autonomy & Discipline: Highly self-motivated with strong organizational, CRM, and reporting skills.
- Driver’s Licence: Current NZ driver’s licence with a clean record (flexible to work occasional evenings or events as required).
What We Offer
