About Maker

Maker is a premium canned wine company serving up award-winning wine from the nation's best small producers, in the perfect single-serving pour.

We're a small-but-mighty female-founded business shaking up the wine world and lifting up the little guys. We are storytellers, curators, and experience-makers. We want to fix a broken system that adversely impacts small producers and make premium wine approachable to everyone.

Featured in Wine Spectator, Vinepair, Forbes, and Food 52, we’re the highest rated canned wine on the market today. We’re venture-backed, growing fast, and just getting started. Join us!

About the Role

Our Brand Ambassadors work alongside our Sales Managers as the faces and voices of Maker in our main markets. They share our story, pour our wines, and educate our retail partners and end-consumers at all sorts of events – think staff trainings, in-store tastings, trade events, fundraisers, etc. This collective team of individuals is on the front line, getting the word out!

This role is a part-time position supporting Maker with in-person product demonstrations and tastings at a variety of events. Scheduling will be a combination of regular cadence events and ad-hoc events as needs arise, and will require a degree of flexibility in schedule and location.
