Wayward Brewing Co plans to spread its wings from its Sydney home, and is looking for a craft beer lover to join its on-road team, initially in Sydney but with potential for Melbourne and Brisbane roles to follow.

JOB DESCRIPTION: Wayward Beer Evangelist - SYD / MEL / BRIS

Do you live and breathe craft beer?  Do you want to get in on the ground floor with a craft brewery owned and run by people who are passionate about craft beer?

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be one of the first employees in a venture that has aspirations to be a global boutique beer brand synonymous with quality, creativity and integrity. If you are as passionate about beer as we are and you can sell our craft beer vision to customers then you might just be the Wayward person we're looking for.

Wayward prides itself on crafting beers that are both innovative and approachable, we're not afraid to venture off the beaten path, take risks and embrace our Wayward side. Our solid existing portfolio is multi-award winning and continues to expand with regular seasonal releases.

Growth in our first full year of production has been nothing short of phenomenal. To cope with this growth we have just doubled our brewing capacity and are weeks away from releasing our core range in bottles.

The job is to help grow Wayward into one of Australia's leading beer brands. You'll do it the hard way, by winning over one customer at a time with your passion while keeping your existing customers delighted with great customer service. The role will entail working closely with both on and off premise accounts to obtain sales, secure new business accounts and service the needs of existing sales accounts within an assigned territory. You'll also represent Wayward at events and generally be a very visible market ambassador for the Wayward brand.

Duties include:

  • Building relationships in the on and off-premise trade
  • Sales results for keg and packaged products
  • Brand building and representation
  • Perform merchandising activities in accounts
  • Weekly in store tastings
  • Signage placement and point of sale
  • Promotion and activities to promote Wayward
  • Sales administration and account management
  • Working festivals and events

Role Requirements:

  • A passion for craft beer and good beer knowledge
  • Proven track record in a sales role (FMCG preferred)
  • Experience in the alcohol industry would be highly regarded
  • Permanent Resident (please do not otherwise apply)
  • Very good communication and time-management skills
  • Highly organised and self motivated
  • Current Drivers Licence and Current RSA (must accompany CV)
  • Understanding that this is not a 9-5 role and willingness to work when/as needed to achieve the outcomes including nights/weekends
  • A vehicle would be advantageous (car allowance included in package)

We are presently hiring one person to be the second full-time representative handling the Sydney market, but also expect to shortly be adding direct representation in Melbourne and Brisbane. This would initially be on a part-time basis but grow into full-time roles.

As a Wayward Evangelist you can expect a competitive starting salary, sales bonuses, phone and car allowance in a work environment that is more like a family than a job. You'll work harder than you ever have, achieve more than you thought possible and have a great time doing it.

Email your CV to beer@wayward.com.au, along with a short description about why you are a perfect match and should be the next member of our team. 

Applications close when we find the right Wayward person.
