Market Manager - Long Island / Westchester - Premium Vodka Company

ROLE SUMMARY

We are seeking a driven and entrepreneurial Market Manager for Long Island/ 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 (60%), off-premise (30%), and marketing/events (10%). 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 Long Island & 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 on Long Island & 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 a car and a clean driver's license
• Must be 21+

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Base Salary: $90,000 - $100,000 (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
