Job Description:

Wine Sales Representative — On-Premise Trade - Positions available in Chicago, Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles

Territory-Based •  Flexible Schedule •  Uncapped Earnings

We’re a specialty back-vintage wine company with over 20 years in business, selling exclusively to the on-premise trade — restaurants, bars, and fine dining establishments. We’re looking for driven, self-starting sales professionals to grow our restaurant and bar client base in select markets.
This is a pure commission role with no cap — the right person can build a meaningful, recurring book of business selling wines that serious sommeliers and buyers genuinely want.

What Makes Us Different
•  Full-credit return policy on any flawed bottle — you can sell with confidence and your accounts will trust you
•  Trade-compliant terms and Fintech availability — we make it easy for accounts to buy
•  A team of former wine directors behind you — real support, real product knowledge
•  Curated back-vintage inventory — not commodity wines, wines buyers are actively searching for

What You’ll Do
•  Prospect and open new on-premise accounts (restaurants, bars, hotel F&B programs)
•  Maintain and grow a recurring book of existing buyers
•  Present wines and facilitate purchasing decisions with sommeliers, buyers, and beverage directors
•  Represent the portfolio with professionalism and product knowledge
•  Manage your own schedule and territory independently

Who We’re Looking For
•  Existing relationships in the on-premise trade — a current book of buyers is a major plus
•  Wine knowledge and genuine passion for the product; sommelier background welcomed
•  Self-motivated and comfortable working without a salary safety net
•  Strong communication and relationship-building skills
•  Organized, reliable, and responsive to accounts

Compensation

Commission only — paid on invoiced sales. Commission structure discussed in detail during the interview process. Earnings are uncapped and scale directly with the size and activity of your book.

This is a 1099 independent contractor position. You are responsible for your own taxes, expenses, and business costs. No benefits are included.
