Sales DC/NoVa (Wine Jobs: Sales & Marketing)

Le Storie Wines is an importing and distribution company based in Richmond, VA. We operate in Virginia and Washington DC. Our portfolio is built around small, family-owned farms that practice, Organic, Biodynamic, and/or Sustainable farming. We recently acquired another importing a distribution company, RWK Imports, and their producers. We have one of the best portfolios of any small to medium sized company in the Mid-Atlantic and are consistently recognized for our high levels of service and professionalism by the top accounts in our markets.

We are currently seeking a sales person to grow the Northern Virginia/ DC market and take over some of the top accounts in the NoVA/DC area. The ideal applicant will have sales experience and existing relationships in Northern Virginia/ DC and a very strong knowledge of Italian wines, French wines, wines from Oregon and California, and wine making as well as a true desire to continue to learn. Our culture is one of personal accountability and achieving our personal and professional goals. We work very hard. We also believe in creating an environment where people feel respected and valued and feel comfortable expressing themselves. The ability and desire to work as part of a team are essential. Only people with a positive attitude, great sense of humor, and a demonstrable record of successful working relationships with customers and colleagues will be considered.

This could be the perfect opportunity for someone who has been in the business for some time and is well connected but may be unhappy with the direction their current company is moving in. We choose our wines together and do not force anyone to sell wines they do not like. We are not a giant, cumbersome, inflexible entity that undervalues people and partners. We are small, lean, aggressive, growing, and work together as a team.

We are not just looking for someone who can sell wine. We are looking for someone who shares our passion and vision, wants to truly be the best, never stops learning, does not need to be told what to do, and is fun to work with. This kind of person is not easy to find but, if you think you could be the needle in the haystack and you would enjoy being an early member of a growing team and would be motivated and inspired by seeing your daily achievements directly contribute to the success and growth of your company and helping to build a portfolio of small, family-owned wineries, please apply now. 

This is a full-time, salaried position. We offer paid time off, participation in our group insurance policy, 401K and performance bonuses. The ability to participate in annual travel to visit the wineries is a must. Base Salary Range $45,000-75,000 Salary + Commission DOE
