Alpha Zeta, Commercial Manager (posted 1 September 2010)

Alpha Zeta is Verona-based producer created by London-based UK-importer Liberty Wines.  The brand has grown organically over the past twelve years and has a number of distributors around the world.  We are now seeking to expand our distribution and are looking for someone who has the enthusiasm, drive and experience to join the company as Commercial Manager and help us achieve this goal.

The successful candidate will become the 'face' of Alpha Zeta in the global market place, and will be responsible for appointing and managing third party distributors, developing international sales and marketing plans, hosting visits to Alpha Zeta and attending key tastings and trade events.

International wine sales experience, particularly appointing and managing third parties, is desired, together with a strong local network of contacts and knowledge of key export markets.  Experience of working with winemakers would be ideal and a high level of wine empathy essential.

Applicants should be fluent in Italian (ideally living in Italy) and in English.  Any other languages are an advantage but not essential.   The applicant will need to be a very driven individual, able to work remotely, be a strong strategic thinker, numerate, articulate and be a strong character with an outgoing personality. 

Salary commensurate with experience while bonus will be dependent upon results. Cover letter and CV should be directed to david@libertywines.co.uk
