This is a brand-new role with two halves.
You will run the wholesale playbook, secure premium independent retail shelf space, and close key local accounts.
You will be a pure hunter who builds the pipeline from scratch through outbound outreach, warm network, and new commercial relationships across the independent retail and hospitality world.
You'll be equally comfortable closing a local independent bottle shop that's ready to go as starting a high-volume national distribution conversation from scratch.
