Full Time

  Corkage (http://www.corkage.co.uk)

  Guildford, England

Corkage is a recently-established independent hybrid fine wine shop/wine bar located in central Guildford. Our core philosophy is to make our wines as accessible as possible to a broad and diverse customer base in an informed but unpatronising way. In addition to pure retail by bottle, wine can be sampled by the glass from our menu or via an enomatic machine, or any bottle can be shared in-house for the payment of an additional £5 corkage.  We run a number of in-house themed tasting events which to date have been fully subscribed, and we offer private hire/tastings in the early part of the week to corporate clients. 

 We are seeking to recruit a motivated and experienced wine retailer to manage the daily sales strategy, maintain adequate stock control, streamline distribution methods and maximise revenues. The individual will influence the buying, sales and retail marketing strategies assuming day-to-day control of the shop including supervision of staff where appropriate. As an independent we have the flexibility to taylor the role according to the strengths and expertise of the chosen candidate. 

 The successful candidate will have a minimum 5 years experience working in the wine retail sector and have industry-recognised qualifications to WSET Level 3 or equivalent minimum standard. Strong organisational skills and ability to initiate and be creative are a prerequisite. Good communication skills and positive attitude to customer interfacing are essential.

Salary circa £25-30,000 according to experience and agreed role.
Annual Discretionary Profit-Related Bonus
25 Days Annual Holiday
