Full Time

Good Pair Days is a 6 year old online wine+ business based in Australia that prioritises customer happiness and wine education. We're a tech-focussed retailer with big growth ambitions. We love wine, we love our members (obsessively) and we love finding ways to surprise and delight them.
We're expanding to the UK before the end of 2021 and need an organised, articulate, hard working wine expert to help grow our amazing range of wines and tell our adoring community all about them.
You'll be a great fit if you're growth minded, love accountability and autonomy, have an empathic nature, love solving problems and thinking independently and last but not least willing to pull your sleeves up and join a hard working, high performance team culture. The above are also our team values... so if you were wondering what it's like to work with us, there you have it!

- You're extremely well organised with systems, checks and backups for everything.
- It goes without saying, you have an experienced and well-honed palate, and are excited about the varied styles of wines we offer.
- Your connections within the UK wine industry are second to none - you know the game - the importers, the sellers, the writers and some of the drinkers.
Experience
- Overall, highly trained wine professional, with astute ability to assess wine
- Multiple years experience in a wine buying role, either on trade or retail
- Experience with direct overseas imports a bonus
