Sommelier & Spirits Specialist (Retail & Buying Track)

We are looking for a full-time (40 hr/wk) Sommelier & Spirits Specialist (Retail & Buying Track) to join our team, and we would love to connect with someone from our local sommelier or high-end hospitality community.

If you love working with benchmark producers and curated portfolios but are ready to step away from the late-night restaurant grind, this role offers a clear path into retail buying, cellar advisory, and boutique management on a consistent schedule.

Key Details:

• Schedule: Full-time (40 hours/week), Sunday through Thursday. Every Friday and Saturday off.
• Year 1 Compensation: 60-65k; Starting in Year 2, we offer performance-based profit sharing
• Growth Track: You will take immediate ownership of our spirits program and retail floor operations while apprenticing directly alongside management on fine wine allocations (Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, and Piedmont), with a structured timeline to take on joint wine buying.
• The Work: A balanced mix of high-touch floor advisory for private collectors/cellar clients and essential back-end operations (inventory control, POS management, margin tracking, logistics, and vendor invoice data entry).
• Perks & Benefits: 100% company-paid WSET Level 3 or advanced spirits certification, competitive compensation, full health coverage, and paid vacation.

What We’re Looking For: A detail-oriented professional with strong product knowledge who thrives in customer-facing retail, loves the beverage industry, and takes pride in the administrative precision required to run a premier shop.
