Fire Up Akasha’s Sydney Sales

Posted June 22, 2017

Update: This role has been filled!

With a well established brand, a popular range of core hoppy beers, some really popular limited releases and a recent branching out into cans, Akasha’s beers almost sell themselves. Almost, but not quite. They still need people to do it. And if you’re an experienced rep based in Sydney, that could be you… 


SYDNEY SALES REP AT AKASHA

At Akasha Brewing Company we share a passion for brewing, promoting and talking about independent Australian beer. 

Since launching in early 2015, we’ve formed a close knit team that thrives on challenges and takes pride in the brewing process. As a team, we get to share in making the best hop forward, well balanced beers we can and, in doing so, we’re creating our place in the independent Australian brewing industry. 

With our brewery and home now well established in Five Dock, one of our core tenets is contributing to our community; being a part of community activities and supporting other local businesses. 

Alongside that local focus, our beer is also distributed to other main centres which has helped generate a steady growth in production in our core range of beers, as well as popular seasonal beers such as our Korben D double IPA, and encouraged a recent foray into canned package releases.

We’re now looking at bringing on an additional sales person to focus on key areas of growth in the Sydney and regional markets. The ideal candidate will have a passion for independent beer, relevant experience and a good knowledge base that will help us grow our business.

The key functions of this role include:

  • Building relationships with on and off premise trade
  • Hitting your targets and distribution goals
  • Spreading the Akasha brand
  • Hosting promotional activities (in-store tastings, customer training, etc)
  • Representing us at beer events and festivals
  • Gathering market intelligence to present to management

To be considered for the role, you’ll need the following qualifications and experience:

  • A love of independent Australian beer
  • A sound knowledge of the liquor industry
  • Previous relevant experience 
  • Strong sales and marketing experience
  • Well developed communication skills
  • Current Australian drivers licence
  • NSW RSA

If you think you tick all the boxes and would be a good fit for the Akasha team, we’re offering a competitive salary package and the chance to work with some great people in a rewarding environment.
