- Use experience to negotiate new relationships, manage discounts & incentives for customers, while influencing brew schedule and pricing.
- There will be opportunity to work events in the UK and internationally.
- We also actively encourage all our staff to get involved in recipe development and the chance to brew.
Requirements
- At least 1 year experience leading a sales team within a brewery. Or 3 years as a member of a sales team. (Sorry, managing a bar does not count).
