Job Description

Vina VIK is a prestigious Chilean luxury winery distinguished by its commitment to innovative winemaking, architectural excellence, and premium positioning in the global market. Situated in the renowned Millahue Valley, Vina VIK's portfolio features a selection of exceptional estate-driven wines including VIK, Milla Cala, La Piu Belle, Omega, and Stone VIK, each characterized by their unique expression and quality. These wines are crafted for discerning consumers and are ideally suited to fine dining restaurants, independent retailers, premium regional chains, luxury hospitality venues, and exclusive wine programs looking to offer something extraordinary.

The role of Independent Wine Broker with Vina VIK presents an exciting opportunity for a motivated and experienced professional to represent this celebrated Chilean wine portfolio as an overlay in their territory. This position is structured as a 1099 independent contractor role compensated exclusively on a 100 percent commission basis, making it an ideal fit for self-directed sales experts who thrive on building relationships and driving sales independently. Vina VIK seeks a broker with an established network of trade connections within the region who can actively open new business channels and develop existing accounts across vital on-premise and off-premise markets.

The successful candidate will be expected to leverage existing relationships with wine buyers, sommeliers, retailers, and distributors while strategically expanding Vina VIK's presence in the market. Active market engagement through account visits, staff training sessions, tastings, and marketing initiatives will be critical in generating brand awareness and depletions. Regular communication and partnership with distributors will also support seamless brand representation and follow-through. The position requires a proven track record of selling premium or luxury wines and an ability to manage and grow a portfolio without direct supervision.

Candidates currently representing complementary wineries, distilleries, or breweries will find this role particularly aligned with their experience. The ideal broker is professional, well-organized, commercially savvy, and possesses strong communication skills to maintain consistent follow-up and generate momentum at the account level. Vina VIK values brokers who understand the nuances of the local wine market and who are adept at identifying high-potential opportunities in restaurants, hotels, private clubs, independent retailers, and premium retail chains.

Overall, this role offers the chance to join one of Chile's most ambitious winemaking ventures and contribute to the growth of an internationally recognized luxury wine portfolio, with significant potential for commission-based earnings tailored to performance and business development success. Those interested in joining Vina VIK as an Independent Wine Broker should possess a passion for premium wines and a willingness to operate within a flexible, entrepreneurial framework focused on results.
