Job description
Handcrafted Wine & Spirits is expanding into Missouri, and we are looking for highly motivated Sales Consultants to help launch and build our presence across the state.

Handcrafted Wine & Spirits is an established distributor operating in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Oregon. We focus on discovering trends, building brands, and delivering exceptional service to our supplier and retail partners.

Manage territory routing and account planning effectively.

Maintain accurate account information and sales activity reporting.
Represent Handcrafted professionally in the marketplace.
Qualifications:
Previous wine, spirits, beer, beverage sales or hospitality experience preferred.
Existing relationships within the Missouri market are a plus.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Passion for wine and spirits from around the world.
Self‑motivated with strong organizational and time‑management abilities.
Ability to work independently and manage territory effectively.
Comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint, and other business software.
Ability to lift up to 40 lbs. as needed.
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required.
What We’re Looking For:
We are looking for entrepreneurial‑minded individuals excited by the unique opportunity to help launch an established company into a new state. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to make an immediate impact, grow with the company, and be part of building something from the ground up in Missouri.
The ideal candidate is a motivated team player who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment. We are looking for someone who is personally accountable, highly organized, and driven to grow both their territory and career. Passion, hustle, and determination are essential.
Compensation & Benefits:
Competitive salary plus commission/bonus opportunity.
