  • Maryland Craft Adventure Coordinator (Promotions) - Devils Backbone Brewing Company

    Craft Adventure Coordinator
    Reports To: Chief Operating Officer
    Based in: Maryland
    Date Posted: November 12, 2013

    The Opportunity:

    We’re looking for an energetic, creative Craft Adventure Coordinator to plan, supervise and execute our promotional schedule across the state of Maryland. You’ll work closely with our Maryland Pathfinder (Sales Representative) and our distributor sales representatives identify, develop, secure and execute promotional events that are critical to building and emphasizing Devils Backbone’s brand image and consumers’ awareness of that brand both on-premise and off.

    It’s essential that you’re outgoing, an excellent communicator and interested in craft beer. It’s equally important that you are dependable and hyper-organized as you will be responsible for maintaining a company-wide calendar of events and managing the staffing of those events, all while on the road. The Craft Adventure Coordinator is a hybrid marketing/sales position in that you will not be expressly responsible for acquiring new product placements but your efforts will often times put you in a position to sell in additional Devils Backbone products. Finally, and most importantly, you are a branded representative of our company, and your actions reflect on us.

    Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

    • Identifying, developing and executing unique and innovative in-market promotional opportunities for Devils Backbone which enhance our brand image and awareness
    • Plan and execute promotional activities with Devils Backbone Pathfinders and Distributor Personnel to support sales objectives
    • Personally attend 15+ events per month and oversee appropriate staffing for other events
    • Develop relationships with key retail accounts to increase promotional opportunities for our brands
    • Prepare and present brand education information to distributor sales personnel
    • Assist in ensuring POS is used effectively in-market
    • Ensure Devils Backbone promotions remain in compliance with all local regulations
    • Report back to management on trends, weakness and opportunities in the market and make suggestions on how to capitalize on these observations

    The Requirements:

    • Bachelor’s Degree
    • Experience in the beverage industry is a plus, but not a requirement
    • Comfort with mobile technology (smartphones and tablets), and Microsoft Office Suite
    • A valid driver’s license and a good driving record

    You will be a good fit for this job if you:

    • Are bursting with energy and always “on”
    • Get excited by the idea of teaming up with some of the best beer venues around
    • Are really excited about Craft Beer
    • Can super-ultra-mega-multi-task
    • Are neurotically organized and communicate intelligently
    • Are really creative and entrepreneurial
    • Have the flexibility to travel 90% of the time and work nights and weekends
    • Live in, or are willing to move to Maryland or Washington DC

    More About Devils Backbone Brewing Company:

    Devils Backbone Brewing Company was founded in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Nelson County, VA. Here, precision of process and subtly complex flavors are proud cornerstones. “Intensity of flavor is not equal to quality of flavor,” is Jason Oliver’s mantra (he’s our Brewmaster). This philosophy has helped us win back-to-back championships are the Great American Beer Festival, along with 27 awards from the most well respected beer competitions in the world.

    We currently operate two breweries: the Basecamp Brewpub is a brewery and full service restaurant in Nelson County, VA, about 45 minutes southwest of Charlottesville. This is our original location, and today serves as our pilot brewery where we develop our newest brews. The Outpost is a state of the art production facility capable of brewing 40,000 BBLs annually. It is located in Lexington, VA, an idyllic Shenandoah Valley town.

    How to Apply:

    After reading all of that, if you think you’re appropriately qualified and a good fit to work with us, please email a resume, cover letter briefly summarizing why you think you’re a good fit for us, and an application (found on our website) to Outpost@dbbrewingcompany.com.
