Blizzard Brewing Company, Australia’s highest brewery based in Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps, has just successfully completed trading through its first ski season. 

Now it's time to bring the beer down the mountain so our Alpine visitors can get it at home. So we are hiring a Victorian sales rep. If this sounds like the job for you, read on...

JOB DESCRIPTION: SALES REP – VICTORIA

Blizzard Brewing is looking for an experienced, self-motivated and passionate craft beer ambassador to be our Sales Representative in Victoria, based in Melbourne.  

Blizzard is Australia’s first and only brewery located above the snowline, brewing with the freshest water accessed from the snow-melt aquifers in the Victorian High Country. We are an authentic experience. 100% of our beer is handmade and packaged in-house at our single venue, by staff who are passionate about what they do, working for an independently owned family business.

To progress our objective to provide keg and packaged beer into craft oriented bottle shops, restaurants and bars, we are looking for a confident and experienced sales rep who is adept at forging strong relationships, accomplished in representing the brand and brewery values, is self-motivated, is capable of working independently, can demonstrate previous establishment and management of successful sales plans, and can establish momentum from a start-up position. You will be working directly with our small management team, responsible for showcasing our brand, managing our existing accounts, attracting new customers and increasing market share within our target regions of Melbourne metro, Gippsland and North East Victoria. 

Our Role Description:

  • Represent, showcase and grow the brand and the availability Blizzard Brewing beer;
  • Build and maintain relationships and increase service, support and sales to new and existing accounts; 
  • Assist the management team by taking a leading role in market analysis, development of the sales framework and sales targets;

  • Provide beer education opportunities within the tourism, hospitality and craft beer communities;
  • Manage point of sale requirements;
  • Establish relationships with distributors to achieve sales goals;
  • Develop and implement sales reporting to management, including back-log, ordering, and fulfilment.

  • Technologically literate, proficient with email, Microsoft Office and sales and invoicing programs. 

Other key considerations:

This role will not be fulfilled from Dinner Plain, but from within one of our target markets – likely but not necessarily Melbourne. While frequent travel to the brewery is envisaged, the successful candidate will be able to work from home with frequent travel required.

You must hold a full drivers license and a current RSA.

The role could be part time or full time.
