Job Description

Maison Saint Aix | Netherlands-based | Up to 50 K€ + 15% bonus What happens when a premium wine brand already has the awareness, the positioning and a powerful new distribution partner, but wants to accelerate what happens next? Maison Saint Aix is looking to appoint a European Export Manager to take commercial ownership of the Netherlands, alongside Germany, Austria and Denmark. The focus of this role is to grow the brand further through premium on-trade and independent customers. This is not purely a distributor-management role nor is it a Brand Ambassador position. You will work closely with our distributors to build plans, priorities and distribution but you'll also be out in the market yourself creating demand for the brand. Maison Saint Aix is best known for AIX Rosé, but the portfolio is evolving. Alongside its flagship Provence Rosé, the Maison has launched AIX White, Saint X and premium alcohol-free sparkling rosé BEAU VIVA. Today the brand is distributed through selected partners in more than 70 countries. Who might fit? You are likely to have: · At least 3+ years' successful commercial experience within premium wine or spirits · Strong on-trade and/or independent customer experience · Experience working with distributors or importers · A track record of developing premium brands and winning new distribution · Enough commercial maturity to manage plans, budgets, forecasts and performance · Grocery experience would be useful, but it isn't the priority Above all, we're looking for somebody who combines commercial maturity with energy in the field. Someone autonomous, commercially curious and comfortable creating their own momentum If you think this is you, send your CV to: Fanny LAMOUREUX at [email protected]
