Job description

Business Development Manager – Midwest (Chicago Based)

About the Role

We're not looking for beer experts. We're looking for closers.

Some people sell products. Others create customers. We're looking for the latter.

We're an American importer set up to develop the market for globally recognized European beer brands. We're looking for competitive, relationship-driven sales professionals with an incredible work ethic who thrive on winning, opening new doors, and building long term partnerships. As a Business Development Manager, you'll help grow our distribution across the Midwest through distributor management, chain development, and on- and off-premise sales.

Your First Year Scoreboard

To give you a clear picture of what success looks like, here's exactly how we'll measure it.

Month 3 – Build the Foundation

  • Build strong working relationships with our current distributors in Minnesota, Michigan, Northern Ohio, and Illinois.
  • Establish a consistent ordering cadence and sales plan for every market.
  • Secure placements in at least 8 high impact on-premise accounts, each with the potential to sell 50+ case equivalents annually.
  • Expand placements throughout your home market of Chicago/Milwaukee and surrounding territory.
  • Identify regional chain opportunities and begin the placement process by working directly with buyers and distributor chain managers.
  • Visit every existing market in person and develop territory growth plans.

Month 6 – Expand the Footprint

  • Secure statewide distribution in Wisconsin, Indiana, Southern Ohio, and Missouri.
  • Increase the number of high impact on-premise placements to 20 accounts across the territory.
  • Continue expanding regional chain authorizations and distributor relationships while building a strong pipeline of new opportunities.

Month 12 – Scale the Business

  • Reach 40 high impact on-premise accounts across the Midwest territory.
  • Grow Midwest sales 4x.
  • Build a network of distributors, retailers, and chain partners that positions the territory for long term growth.
  • Transition from executing the growth strategy to helping shape it as we continue to expand.

This Role Isn't for Everyone

We're building, not maintaining.

If you're driven to open new doors, create opportunities, and own your results, we'd love to meet you.

If you're looking for a territory to manage this isn't the job. Apply if you're looking for a territory to own.
