Boston, United States Craft Collective Full time

Craft Collective is seeking a “do-it-all” non-alcoholic beverage segment category manager. In this role, you’d define the sub-categories, manage them, interface with our supplier partners, and effect our go-to-market strategy. You will make the decisions. You’ll work with our territory sales and marketing teams to help them represent the brands effectively, but you will also be involved in field work yourself by, for example, selling to key accounts, executing promotional events, negotiating and executing displays, conceiving of sales rep incentive programs, and much more. This is very much a hybrid role; office/field, manage/individually contribute, influence/do, corporate/startup. You will regularly feel like you have too much to do and, if successful, you’ll learn how to “focus your eyes while your head is spinning.” Craft Collective envisions building a best-of-breed portfolio within the following adult non-alc sub-categories: Spirits, Beer, Wine, RTDs and Functional Beverages. The Details ABOUT CRAFT COLLECTIVE: Craft Collective is an independent craft beverage distribution company focused on quality, craft producers. We maintain ample refrigeration, a fully climate-controlled warehouse, and refrigerated delivery vehicles. Our people represent our brands with enthusiasm and diligently care for our products. We're honest, accommodating, and committed to helping craft producers succeed. We work with local, regional, and national brands in craft beer, cider, wine, kombucha, coffee, and more, including Bissell Brothers, Schilling, Foam Brewers, Aeronaut, SingleCut, Finback, Idle Hands, Proclamation, Graft Cider, and more. See our entire portfolio of craft beverages at www.getcraft.co. EMPLOYMENT AT CRAFT COLLECTIVE: We offer competitive pay, terrific benefits and a beverage enthusiast culture.
