Job Details

Our Barefoot* brand is now the number 1 wine brand in the USA and our plans for world domination are well underway. From a "garage wine" back in the Sixties, Barefoot has become so popular that we now have a club for Barefoot devotees: the "BarefootRepublic

We believe that we can both promote our brand and satisfy our desire to make the world a better place by partnering with various non-profits and pouring at various fund-raising events. We've also created the Barefoot Beach Rescue Project, designed to clean up beaches and ensure they are "Barefoot friendly." We want to spread a sense of fun in the sun while furthering the Barefoot philosophy of giving back. We continue to produce award-winning wines and support local charity events with our high energy team of Barefooters .

So what actually is a Barefooter? Well your official title will be Barefoot Market Specialist, and your fun but challenging task is to raise awareness of this vibrant brand. Driving trial and awareness of Barefoot wine through partnering with charity, community, LGBT and Beach clean events locally, regionally and nationally. Effectively linking promotional events back into grocery, impulse and on trade accounts with brand presence in store. Your responsibilities will be varied and keep you on your Baretoes ; from point of sale advertising, hosting wine tasting events, to gathering, processing and analysing market trends and customer information.

This role will be unlike anything you could ever have imagined (it really is that great!), but please note that you may be expected to work outside of traditional working hours. Festivals just don't run 9 till 5 unfortunately!

If you have a can-do' attitude and can think outside the box', then this is a chance to join a forward-thinking, people focussed business where your career can flourish. OK that's enough clichés for now, but seriously, you must be a passionate and outgoing graduate ideally with some sales exposure. Motivated to over-achieve targets, you will have the commercial acumen and previous events experience would be interesting.

All applicants must be able to do a 360 spin on a surfboard.**

Ok so you've finished reading this now, if you believe you fit the bill then we could be welcoming you to the family; so apply today!

*Barefoot is a brand wholly owned and distributed by E. & J. Gallo Winery, for more information on us go to gallo.com

**Only kidding, but it really would impress us!
