Job Description

Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits is the leading distributor in the wine and spirits industry, proudly holding a reputation as one of Forbes' Top Private Companies. Established in 1933, this family-owned business has long been recognized for its commitment to excellence, innovation, and fostering a supportive workplace culture where every employee is valued and empowered to grow. Southern Glazer's invests deeply in its people, equipping them with advanced technology and continuous learning opportunities to help them bring their best selves to work daily. The company offers a wide array of benefits and a culture grounded in collaboration, respect, and shared success.

Joining Southern Glazer's means becoming part of a team that shapes the future of beverage distribution. This is a company that not only prioritizes achieving business excellence but also passionately supports the personal and professional development of its workforce. Employees benefit from a competitive compensation package, including a starting salary range of $51,500 to $55,000 per year, plus incentives and eligibility for an auto allowance. First-year earnings typically range from $70,000 to $75,000, with offers tailored based on each candidate's education, skills, and experience.

In this role, the Sales Consultant plays a crucial part in driving Southern Glazer's continued growth and success. As a representative of the company, the Sales Consultant operates with a business-oriented and customer-centric focus, engaging directly with customers to foster strong, consultative relationships. The job entails frequent face-to-face interaction with clients, typically independent liquor and chain stores, across the Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, and surrounding areas of Washington State. Candidates with prior sales experience in these markets and familiarity with fine wine will find this role especially rewarding.

The Sales Consultant is expected to proactively identify and develop customer business growth opportunities by thoroughly understanding individual business needs and deploying tailored sales solutions. This consultative selling approach relies on building trust and leveraging deep product knowledge of Southern Glazer's extensive portfolio. A key aspect of success in this position involves skillful use of data analysis, CRM tools, and strategic visit planning to maximize sales impact.

Beyond sales, this position requires a self-motivated individual who thrives in a results-driven, fast-paced environment and embodies adaptability and teamwork. The ability to communicate clearly and effectively across various platforms, including mobile technologies and professional digital correspondence, is essential. The role also demands a reliable vehicle, a valid driver’s license, and compliance with company auto liability insurance standards, as driving is integral to visit and engage customers regularly.

Southern Glazer’s also prioritizes work-life balance by offering comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, disability and life insurance, tax-advantaged Flexible Spending Accounts, a 401(k) retirement plan, tuition assistance, and wellness programs. Paid parental leave, vacation accrual, and sick leave further support employee well-being and job satisfaction.

This Sales Consultant opportunity is not merely a job but an invitation to grow within a respected, innovative company that values its people, community, and the pursuit of excellence. Candidates eager to pursue a challenging and rewarding career in beverage distribution with a company that genuinely invests in its workforce are encouraged to apply.
