Responsibilities

• Running in-store tastings at grocery stores, bottle shops and specialty retailers across Puget Sound — this is the core of the role and the part that moves the numbers
• Pouring and sampling at festivals, events and community activations, including weekends and some evenings
• Representing the full Reuben's portfolio — our beer and our Party On non-alcoholic line — and knowing all of it well enough to talk about it with anyone
• Setting up and breaking down your own kit: canopy, table, cooler, ice, signage — and keeping product cold and properly presented at all times
• Starting conversations with people who didn't ask to be talked to, and handling skepticism gracefully
• Merchandising while on site: facing the shelf, checking cold box placement, noting out-of-stocks and anything that doesn't look right
• Accurately reporting data after every shift — samples poured, location, customer feedback, and any account or venue asking where to buy
• Building and maintaining relationships with store staff, beer buyers, event organizers and wholesaler reps
• Transporting product, equipment and signage safely to and from activations
• Helping out across sales and potentially taproom events when needed

Requirements

• An infectious positivity - this is the whole job. Retail demo, beverage, hospitality or events experience is a plus but not a requirement
• Reliability - shifts are scheduled weeks ahead and a missed shift is a booth nobody staffed
• Physical demands include but are not limited to: Frequently required to stand and walk for extended periods, reach with hands and arms, stoop, kneel, crouch or crawl; regularly lift or move cases of beer and coolers of ice (up to 50 pounds); loading and unloading a vehicle.
• Valid Washington driver's license and a clean driving record required
• MAST permit and Washington Food Worker Card required, or willing to obtain within your first two weeks — we'll reimburse both
• Availability on weekends and some evenings, minimum two shifts per week

Preferred

• Glass Backwards mentality – taking unique, solution-focused approaches to problems
• A proven track record of Making it Happen – infectiously enthusiastic and can-do attitude – a thirst to learn, to teach others, and an obsessive commitment to our brewery's success is an absolute must
• Recognition that we are here to delight - for internal and external customers, partners, and the Reuben's team as a whole. In this role you are the first and often only Reuben's person a customer will ever meet
• A One Team mentality – a team-focused approach to achieving results
• Assume the Best Intent - no ego, a focus on team results, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and jump in where needed
• A Passion for Craft - recognize and live a mentality that the extra effort is worth it

Benefits

• Medical and Dental Insurance (for all employees who work 20+ hours per week)
• Paid Time Off
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with 4% company match
