Northern New Jersey / Rockland / Westchester Market Manager - Premium Vodka Company

Market Manager

We are seeking a driven and entrepreneurial Market Manager for Northern NJ/Rockland County NY/Westchester County, NY to join a growing team. This full-time, field-based position will focus on account-level sales execution and brand building across on-premise, off-premise, and marketing/events. The role starts with a retail-focused push to secure distribution and availability, evolving into a more on-premise and marketing-heavy role as the brand grows. We're a one-brand company with a lean, agile team—this is not a distributor management role. It's a hands-on, execution-focused position built for someone who wants to build a market, not just manage it.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead our presence across Bergen County NJ, Nassau County NY, & Westchester County NY prioritizing premium on-premise and high-volume off-premise accounts
• Open and grow account relationships through regular outreach, education, tastings, and event support
• Execute in-market sales and marketing initiatives—menu placements, features, displays, samplings, and brand activations
• Partner with the internal marketing team to localize national campaigns and deploy creative assets in the field
• Activate and manage consumer-facing events and local brand partnerships
• Track placements, depletions, pricing, and key KPIs to measure success and inform strategy
• Represent the brand with integrity, urgency, and passion

Preferred Qualifications

• Reside in New Jersey or NY and have strong knowledge of the state's on-premise landscape
• Beverage alcohol foundations—bartending, distributor or supplier sales experience, and familiarity with the three-tier system
• Demonstrated success in sales, marketing, or relationship management
• Strong communication, presentation, and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Must have car and clean drivers license
• Must be 21+

Compensation & Benefits

• Base Salary: $80,000 – $110,000 (commensurate with experience)
• Bonus Opportunity: 20% – 30% of base salary based on On-Target Revenue Earnings (OTRE)
• $500 monthly Health Allowance to support personal health insurance
• Monthly Car Allowance
• Reimbursable T&E Budget for account support, meetings, and market activations.
• Robust Marketing Budget to support local campaigns and in-store/on-premise execution
• Access to Custom Merchandise and POS to support trade marketing and consumer engagement
• Flexible Remote Work Environment with the opportunity to lead and scale a growing premium brand
• Please note: We do not currently offer a 401(k) plan or matching benefit as part of this compensation model
