National Account Manager

We’re on the hunt for a dynamic, driven, and creative National Accounts Manager to help lead the charge on chain sales and fuel the growth of our brands across top national and regional retailers both Off and On Premise.

At D&V International, we represent some of the most iconic names in the import beer world, including St. Bernardus and Verhaeghe (Duchesse De Bourgogne). This role is your chance to be front and center in deciding how and where these legendary beers show up across the country.

You’ll be the go to for our biggest customer relationships, owning sales strategy and execution from start to finish. You’ll work closely with our Director of Sales, partner with top tier distributors, and collaborate with an energized internal team to grow placements, activate impactful programs, and help take these brands to the next level.

We don’t care where you live what we care about is your hustle. We want someone who’s sharp, proactive, competitive, and excited to make things happen. If you're ready to build something meaningful and have a little fun while doing it, let's talk.

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you’ve worked with national chain accounts before and know your way around the three tier system. You understand how to get things done in this space and are always thinking a few moves ahead.

Why This Role Is a Big Deal

This isn’t just a job it’s an opportunity to build something from the ground up. You’ll be the first person in this role, with the freedom to shape it and grow it your way.
