  • Track, analyze, and report on sales incentives, program performance, and execution metrics to provide visibility to leadership.
  • Support trade audit control, compliance, and accurate trade spend management.
  • Provide hands-on trade marketing and merchandising support, including POS coordination, order events, key promotions, and selling periods.
  • Design and analyze surveys to gather feedback from sales teams and customers, turning insights into improved execution.
  • Act as an internal connector — gather field intelligence, identify opportunities, and collaborate across teams to solve execution challenges.
  • Support and help lead wine dinners, winemaker events, industry trade shows, and other key activations.
  • Reinforce best practices and drive consistency across all sales divisions.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Minimum 5–7 years of experience in wine & spirits sales, supplier management, or wholesale operations.
  • Advanced wine knowledge (WSET, CMS, or equivalent preferred).
  • Strong understanding of the three-tier system and trade marketing practices.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Excellent analytical, organizational, project management, and communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint).

Key Competencies:

  • Cross-functional collaboration
  • Program & project management
  • Trade marketing execution
  • Data tracking and reporting
  • Strong supplier relationship management

What Success Looks Like:

  • Timely, accurate execution of supplier programs and program books
  • High sales team adoption of tools and sell sheets
  • Strong compliance and effectiveness in incentive tracking and trade audits
  • Positive supplier feedback and improved consistency across divisions

If you’re a wine industry professional who loves turning strategy into execution, building effective sales tools, and fostering strong supplier and team relationships, this is an outstanding opportunity to make a significant impact.
