What you’ll do
In this fantastic, high-profile role, you’ll be the key to sales growth in our wine and champagne category. You’ll be joining a well-regarded team, working with regional accounts. From supporting the regional wine and champagne strategy to advising on key tenders and range reviews, you’ll be a source of expert guidance and an ambassador for our portfolio. It means you’ll be involved in decisions at the highest level – on purchasing compliance, wine activity in top regional accounts and much more besides.

About you
Clearly, you need to be an authority on the wine and champagne category. We’ll expect in-depth knowledge, perhaps gained as a skilled sommelier or in a wine sales role. This experience should come with a WSET Diploma ideally, Level 3 at minimum – but we’re looking for much more. We want a highly engaging professional who can work with a wide range of contacts; a natural consultant who’ll give sound guidance and exceptional presentations.
