ABOUT ARTIST BLOCK
Artist Block was founded by Anna Sweet, a serial entrepreneur who questions convention, innovates daily, and refuses to do things the way they've always been done. Three years in, Anna was named a wine industry leader. We are visionaries in this space and we're only getting started.
We're not building a typical winery. We're building a movement and we hire with extreme intention.

THE ROLE
We're looking for a rare kind of leader: someone who can run a tight operation and pour wine with the best of them. A player-coach who leads from the floor, raises the bar for everyone around them, and takes genuine ownership of the guest experience from first pour to loyal club member.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
On the floor:

Host tastings and build real relationships you read a guest in 30 seconds and make them feel known
Drive club conversions and art sales with genuine enthusiasm
Make every guest feel like the VIP they are
Grow our Google review presence and build a local referral network

On leadership and operations:

Hire, train, and develop a team of tasting room associates
Manage scheduling, daily line-ups, weekly team meetings, and KPI reporting
Own inventory and vendor relationships across wine, F&B, and the gift shop, margins always top of mind
Own Tock: reservations, booking mix, new hire onboarding, team training
Ensure full OLCC and safety compliance

On events: Plan, execute, and debrief guest experience and bottom line both in focus.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Non-negotiables:

Tasting room management or supervisory experience required
Proven sales ability and a track record of leading teams
Strong wine knowledge and fluency in wine club operations
Comfortable with POS, reservation systems, data reporting, and budgets
21+ with valid OLCC permit; weekends and some evenings required

What sets you apart:

You lead by example and raise the energy of every room you walk into
You think like an owner hospitality and margins are always on your mind
You understand that unreasonable hospitality is a daily standard, not a tagline


WHY ARTIST BLOCK

Room to grow: we scale fast and love to overachieve and promote from within
A skill set for life: wine, hospitality, operations, sales, leadership
A team worth showing up for: tight-knit, creative, genuinely passionate
A chance to matter: we're changing the conversation in wine
Direct mentorship from Anna Sweet
