Brand Ambassador | Albany Area, NY Willie's Superbrew

  • Date Posted November 18, 2019
  • Location Albany, NY
  • Category Business
  • Job type Part-Time
Company description Willie’s Superbrew is a hard seltzer blended with real fruit. It’s gluten free and low in carbs and calories, but we brew with thousands of pounds of real fruits and spices, meaning it’s bursting with real flavor. It’s a drink as unique and refreshing as its origin story. Because after all, there aren’t many places where a goat farmer and a young neuroscientist would meet, but apparently a beach on the Cape is one. Willie shared his ginger brew, and they started selling it at farmers’ markets. The rest is history.
 

We are a team with heart and hustle unified by a dream to make alcohol better and our belief in 5 values: 

  • Foster Growth
  • No B.S
  • Have a Soul
  • Be Curious and Innovate
  • Live Responsibly

What Does the Supercrew Do?
As a Brand Ambassador, you will represent Willie’s at customer-facing events such as Grocery & Liquor Store Samplings, Bars & Restaurant Promotions, Brewfests, Local Events, and more. Your main job will be to educate new customers on what Willie’s is and why it’s so great by getting as many people as possible to try it.

One of the purposes of this program is to be a direct pipeline for long-term hires. That being said, interest in long-term employment is not a requirement by any means. Our goal is to empower everyone within this program to be a part of bringing real ingredients to alcohol! We know that success is more than just numbers, and we want to make sure you grow and have fun just as much as we want you to do well at tastings. We’re a tightknit team here, so while everyone works hard on their own, we like to get together and balance it out with some fun, too. We will always welcome and solicit suggestions, ideas, & feedback and you will have the opportunity to individually pursue new ideas to grow and spread Willie’s.

Tasting & Event Responsibilities
Most of your responsibilities with Super Crew will be tastings at different liquor & grocery stores in your region. Tastings are an opportunity to educate and directly sell to new consumers and create excitement about the Superbrew Brand. We also sponsor a number of events around the region which are organized by companies, nonprofits & orgs with similar values to our own. These are a variety of events throughout the year and no two are the same!

At both tastings and events, your responsibilities include:

  • Represent Willie’s Superbrew at an account - this may be a customers first & only interaction with the brand, so we need to make sure it’s a great one!
  • Arrive on time with ample product/materials, greet managers/organizers, and set up for scheduled tasting time
  • Serve customers samples of the brews & educate them on Superbrew
  • Be responsible for ensuring you always have enough product, sample cups & promo material by coordinating with Ellen & the office team
  • Follow up each tasting/event with feedback about your experience with accounts, tastings & customers
  • Inputting your desired availabilities at least 2 weeks in advance so we can schedule you accordingly

Scheduling
Scheduling is flexible. We can work around your schedule. That being said, most tastings will occur between the following timeframes:
  • Thursdays 4-7pm
  • Fridays 4-8pm
  • Saturdays 1-7pm
  • Sundays 1-7pm
Tastings are generally between 2-4 hours. We’ve found that SuperCrew members that are in our program the longest do at least 1 tasting per week . Our most successful SuperCrew members do 2+ tastings per week.

There are two main types of events where you would represent Willie’s Superbrew - at Direct Selling Events and Other Events.
