Brand Ambassador - Work From Home

Independent Brand Ambassador — Paws & Pours Collective (California)
Rescue Dog Wines | Independent Contractor (1099) | Commission-Based

Looking for a way to connect your passion for premium wines with your desire to support animal rescue? At Rescue Dog Wines, our business is producing fine wines from the Lodi region. Our passion is helping rescue dogs. We work with more than 200 rescue partner organizations and share their stories with a community of over 100,000 followers.

We are building our Paws & Pours Collective — a network of independent brand ambassadors who represent Rescue Dog Wines in the field. Working alongside our distributor partners, ambassadors further our mission to support the placement of as many dogs as possible by growing awareness and sales of our wines.

We contract with established independent businesses — sole proprietorships, LLCs, and agencies — that provide brand representation services to multiple clients. If you already run a brand ambassador, wine marketing, or event representation business in California, this is built for you.

Engagements are project-based and vary by market and season. Building relationships with retailers, on-premise accounts, and community partners
