Account Manager - Gold Coast & Northern Rivers
We’re looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated wine salesperson to manage our wholesale accounts across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers.
Cork & Co is entering an exciting new chapter. We’ve built our reputation on a highly respected folio of Australian producers, and we’re now expanding into direct imports from some of Europe’s finest growers. The successful candidate will join us at a great time and can make the role their own. You’ll build lasting relationships with like-minded industry professionals and grow your knowledge of domestic and international wine as you go.
The folio
You’ll be working with an exciting and progressive range of wines, ciders and spirits. Our domestic producers include Eastern Peake, Marco Lubiana, Ministry of Clouds, Koerner, Joshua Cooper, Sentio, Unico Zelo, Alkina, Sven Joschke, Cobaw Ridge, Scorpo, Lightfoot & Sons, Tscharke, Ottelia, Bellwether and Mewstone . Alongside them is a growing list of direct imports, including Jérôme Fornerot, Château de Chamilly, Domaine Robert Goulley, Champagne Raphaël Devillers, Domaine des Grouas, Domaine Jubain and Vins Engel, with more to come.
The role
Manage and grow our wholesale accounts across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers, both on- and off-premise
Win new venues and work with buyers, sommeliers and owners on their lists
Launch new releases and direct-import arrivals across the territory
Run tastings and staff training, and make sure every customer gets the highest level of service and wine knowledge
You’ll have full autonomy over the day-to-day management of your territory, so you’ll need the skills to match.
Remuneration
Our sales roles are among the most rewarding in the industry. You’ll get a competitive base salary plus open-ended commission. We believe strongly in rewarding good results and set our incentives to match.
What we’re looking for
Professional experience in both customer service and wine. This is a must.
Above-average wine knowledge, ideally WSET Level 3, the WSET Diploma or an equivalent qualification
Strong existing relationships across hospitality in the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers
Excellent time management and organisation
Confidence with Microsoft Office, Google suite or similar
A current driver’s licence and your own means of transport. You’ll travel throughout the territory.
Sales experience is preferred, but we’re open to all candidates who have strong existing relationships across the region’s hospitality industry.
We’re flexible. The right person can start now, or in January if that suits you better. If you need to see out the busy season or give notice, tell us in your application and we’ll work around it.
