If the pages of your copy of How to Win Friends and Influence People are wearing as thin as the fur on your beloved Velvetine Rabbit, then read on. It’s also good to know that you can probably lose the bunny.
Flying Dog is Maryland’s largest brewery…and we’re looking for a Key Account Manager to drink our Kool-Aid and spread the Gospel of Gonzo and Good Beer.
This position will be a perfect snack mix of sweet and salty because your primary goal is to sell our damn fine beer and convert non-buyers into believers. You’ll do this by working with our wholesalers, chain buyers, and retail managers to increase distribution and visibility, selling in features, displays, executing programs and promotions, educating customers, managing wholesaler inventories, checking code dates and rotating products at retail locations, develop presentations, weekly plans, and recap reports – all while providing the highest level of customer service (white gloves sometimes required).
The must haves:
At least two years of relative sales experience with chain sales experience is a big, fat plus
Organizational and multi-tasking skills that will make us rock back and forth with maniacal delight
Masterful skills of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Oregon Trail
Effective time management is critical
Willingness to work nights and weekends as needed
Competitive, go-getter that is prepared to increase distribution and exceed sales goals
Strong ability to bounce back from rejection (you will hear “no” a lot!)
A love for craft beer only rivaled by Ariel’s love to be part of your world
A valid driver’s license (and no, Cher, two permits do not equal a license)
You don’t mind traveling around Metropolitan areas (pro tip, kilometers are shorter than miles, you’re welcome)
The capability to become TIPS certified
Reside in close proximity to Northern VA (40 miles or less)
