Reuben's Brews Brand Ambassador

Reuben's Brews Brand Ambassador

Reuben's Brews Brand Ambassador will report to our Director of Sales, and the successful candidate will be responsible for putting Reuben's beer directly into the hands of new drinkers running in-store tastings at grocery and bottle shops across Puget Sound, pouring at festivals and events, and representing us at community events. Brand Ambassadors have one primary goal: to turn a first taste into a customer. The successful applicant will work closely with our sales team and our wholesaler partners.

Reuben's Brews is a family brewery founded in 2012. We brew from the glass backwards: designing each beer with intention, unbound by constraints. We know making the extra effort is worth it. We are the most decorated brewery in Washington, have two brewhouses, two tasting rooms, and we distribute our beer predominantly in the Pacific Northwest. In 2025 we brewed 24,000 BBLs.

Duties will include, but aren't necessarily limited to the following:

• Running in-store tastings at grocery stores, bottle shops and specialty retailers across Puget Sound this is the core of the role and the part that moves the numbers
• Pouring and sampling at festivals, events and community activations, including weekends and some evenings
• Representing the full Reuben's portfolio our beer and our Party On non-alcoholic line and knowing all of it well enough to talk about it with anyone
• Setting up and breaking down your own kit: canopy, table, cooler, ice, signage and keeping product cold and properly presented at all times
• Starting conversations with people who didn't ask to be talked to, and handling skepticism gracefully
• Merchandising while on site: facing the shelf, checking cold box placement, noting out-of-stocks and anything that doesn't look right
• Accurately reporting data after every shift samples poured, location, customer feedback, and any account or venue asking where to buy
• Building and maintaining relationships with store staff, beer buyers, event organizers and wholesaler reps
• Transporting product, equipment and signage safely to and from activations
• Helping out across sales and potentially taproom events when needed

• Valid Washington driver's license and a clean driving record required
• MAST permit and Washington Food Worker Card required, or willing to obtain within your first two weeks we'll reimburse both
• Availability on weekends and some evenings, minimum two shifts per week

In addition to these minimum requirements, we expect the successful candidate will demonstrate the following:

• Glass Backwards mentality taking unique, solution-focused approaches to problems
• A proven track record of Making it Happen infectiously enthusiastic and can-do attitude a thirst to learn, to teach others, and an obsessive commitment to our brewery's success is an absolute must
• Recognition that we are here to delight - for internal and external customers, partners, and the Reuben's team as a whole. In this role you are the first and often only Reuben's person a customer will ever meet
• A One Team mentality a team-focused approach to achieving results
• Assume the Best Intent - no ego, a focus on team results, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and jump in where needed
• A Passion for Craft - recognize and live a mentality that the extra effort is worth it
