The Opportunity

Reporting to the CEO, this senior commercial role will develop and execute the trans-Tasman sales strategy, leading distributor partnerships, key retail relationships, and new market opportunities.

  • Experience in wine or FMCG beverage sales
  • Proven ability to grow revenue and expand distribution
  • Expertise managing distributors and key retail accounts

  • Excellent negotiation, relationship management, and leadership skills
