We’re hiring a seasoned, people-first Director of Sales and Distribution to lead our in-house and distributor-based sales strategy. If you're a driven professional who blends data-driven strategy with hands-on leadership — and you have a deep love of craft beer — let’s talk.

  • Lead a team of account managers, drivers, and a warehouse manager
  • Build and sustain distributor and chain account relationships
  • Manage product allocation and market entry strategy
  • Plan and execute beer festivals across the U.S. and abroad
  • Report directly to ownership with insights and growth recommendations
  • Partner with our marketing director on brand activations and POS programs
  • Travel for market visits and distributor development


What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of craft beer sales experience
  • Sales team management experience required
  • A relationship-first approach with strategic thinking
  • Able to work events and travel when necessary
  • Must live in or be willing to relocate to the greater Chicago area


Perks & Pay

  • $75,000 salary + $20,000 annual performance bonus
  • Full health benefits: medical, dental, vision, life, disability
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off
  • Mileage and cell phone reimbursement
  • Parental leave
  • Paid beer festivals & employee discounts


This is a full-time, in-person role in Lake Zurich, IL.
