Full Time

Job Description:
Kivelstadt Cellars is excited to announce the creation of our hybrid tasting room and social media manager position! If you are a wine industry professional that has a knack for all things social media, we want to hear from you! Kivelstadt Cellars is a boutique winery which tries to challenge the perception of traditional California wine by creating unique wines that showcase the best California sites, with a distinct new age twist, and a heavy emphasis on sustainability and environmental stewardship. With only four full-time employees, members of the Kivelstadt team wear a lot of hats, and this position is no different.

•  Oversight and execution of day-to-day tasting room activities including hosting tastings, sales of wine and wine club memberships, order and data entry, setup and cleanup as well as maintaining a clean environment.
•  Assisting DTC and Marketing Manager with web order fulfillment, execution of wine club shipments, and other duties.
•  Creation of bi-weekly social media calendars, content creation and photography, periodic website updates, and related marketing activities.

Job Requirements:
•  Wine knowledge is an obvious benefit, but passion and excitement for wine is a must. Facts can be taught, passion can’t.
•  Our tasting room staff is the face or our winery, so applicants must display a professional appearance and demeanor, have a warm and engaging personality, and be able to tell a good story.
•  As we are such a small team, the willingness and ability to step in where needed and be self-directed is paramount. We’re looking for people who aren’t afraid to take initiative and ownership.
•  Naturally dynamic sales skills, especially the ability to sell memberships.
•  Demonstrates computer proficiency, including data entry, and ability to navigate POS system.
•  Has high school diploma or GED; certificate in wine education or college degree preferred.
•  Must be at least 21 years of age.
•  Must be able to work Saturday and Sunday, and schedule flexibility is a plus.
•  Ability to lift and move up to 50 pounds repeatedly
•  Ability to stand and walk for long periods of time
•  Ability to effectively stock wine, execute set-up and break down procedures and equipment.
•  Ability to understand and accurately follow written and verbal instructions.
