Weekend Shift Tasting Shack Retail Associate @ Spruce Peak  

About the Organization While the good old boys are drinking whiskey and rye, our young, rebellious team of creators have no time for nostalgia. We're too busy relentlessly trying new things to unlock the potential of America's oldest spirit, and we are just getting started.


Once the leading American spirit, Rye Whiskey faded from popularity after prohibition ...until a dedicated crew of Rye enthusiasts settled in an unlikely place, turning a historic dairy barn into a world class whiskey distillery in remote Shoreham, Vermont, where we keep the things that make Rye great, throw out the rest, and constantly innovate to make whiskey our way.

Job Title: Tasting Shack Retail Associate

Reports to: VP Marketing

 

SUMMARY:

Are you ready to blend fun with work? We're seeking another Tasting Shack Retail Associate to join our team to bring the spirit of WhistlePig Whiskey to life at our new location in Spruce Peak. This role is all about introducing and educating our guests to our exceptional whiskies, and making retail magic happen. It's all about the perfect balance of education and good times. Get ready to be the champion of guest experience and create unforgettable moments.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the Tasting Shack Retail Associate, your responsibilities include:

  • Providing guests with the best possible experience, fostering relationships that promote sales and brand loyalty.

  • Encouraging customers to dive into the world of WhistlePig Whiskies.

  • Educating guests about the fascinating history and range of WhistlePig products.

  • Skillfully using our point of sale system for smooth transactions.

  • Nailing opening and closing procedures – setting up, breaking down, table arrangements, glassware shining – all things Tasting Shack.

  • Following procedures and keeping our whiskey and merchandise fully stocked.

  • Maintaining the aesthetics of our new space – we want it looking sharp!

  • Closing out the daily transactions through the point of sale system and reporting daily sales.

 

QUALIFICATIONS:

To rock this role, you'll need to have:

  • Due to the sensory requirements of the job (occasional tastes are a thing!) candidates must be a minimum age of 21 (sorry, it's the law).

  • Reliable transportation – you've got to get here!

  • A genuine passion for spirits and related topics.

  • Retail sales experience – you're the master of product presentation and upselling.

  • Basic computer skills (G-suite, MS Office).

  • Able to work weekends, the Tasting Shack operating hours are 12-6 both days.

  • A pigtastic personality, and the ability to solve problems on the fly.

  • Stamina – you can stand for ages, and you're strong enough to lift 50 pounds.

 

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, & REQUIRED EXPERIENCE:

We're looking for candidates with:

  • 1-3 years of related experience.

  • A VT DLC 1st class alcohol server certification before you start.

  • Experience in restaurants, bars, hospitality, or service is a major advantage.

 

PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

You'll need to:

  • Juggle multiple projects, customer needs, and tasks like a pro.

  • Use your hands and fingers to operate a register, pour spirits, listen, speak, and even taste and smell.

  • Be on your feet, moving or walking for extended periods.

  • Lift and move up to 50 pounds.

  • Be ready for the occasional sitting, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and reaching.

 

TRAINING:

We'll equip you with:

  • Whiskey and brand training before go-live!

  • On-site training before you launch into the fun.

  • A parking pass 

 

Are you up for the challenge? If you're ready to bring the joy of WhistlePig Whiskey to our guests and make every day a spirited adventure, we want to hear from you. Let's raise a glass to a fantastic role! We’re hoping to nail the WhistlePig experience at Spruce Peak, and expand this role’s local market support and brand ambassador presence within the Stowe area!
