Job Description: WineWise, a dynamic California company importing European wines since 1989, is seeking an energetic, reliable intern to join our growing organization this summer.
ABOUT WINEWISE
We represent an expansive range of top-quality producers across Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Germany and Greece. Our reputation in the market is strong and our team, both on the administrative and sales side, is highly motivated.
ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP
This role will expose you to the inner workings of an established California distributor. You will learn about the business of importing, distributing, and promoting wine to restaurants, hotels, and retail merchants. You will play a role in supporting active plans to refine our internal processes, which means you can contribute to the success of new outcomes. Additionally, by helping strengthen the story-telling aspect of our business, you will learn about what helps sell wine and what doesn't (hint: being delicious isn't enough!)
JOB DESCRIPTION
• Take an active role in supporting WineWise LLC in various parts of the company, ranging from communication and marketing to wine data management, compliance, and inventory management.
• Support our senior staff in upgrading supplier profiles and highlights within our wide-ranging portfolio.
• Assist in streamlining the information flow between European wineries and our California sales team.
• Learn how to manage and update a wine distributor website.
• Attend 30-minute Monday AM team meetings.
THE IDEAL INTERN
• You are an enthusiastic, driven, organized individual with an interest in learning more about wine and the stories behind it.
• You have the discipline to stick to deadlines, given the telecommuting nature of the work.
• You enjoy a diverse workload and can adapt to tasks quickly. Flexibility and focus are key.
• You live near Berkeley. Most work can be done from home; however, weekly visits to our office mean that, ideally, you live within a reasonable driving distance, or close to Bart - we are a four-minute walk from Ashby station.
• You don't mind occasionally lifting or carrying 40lbs – the weight of a full case of wine.
• Familiarity with any of these programs is a plus: Excel, Word, Adobe Suite, Wix.
WHAT WE OFFER
• A challenging set of responsibilities that can evolve over time.
• A supportive infrastructure with a warm, familial company ethos.
• A hard-working yet fun-loving company culture. We enjoy a proper lunch as much as a proper work ethic.
• *On-the-job wine education*- learning about a wide range of European wine varieties and regions, along with occasional tasting opportunities with company partners.
• Exposure to a network of wine professionals, including seasoned veterans in the California industry.
HOURS & COMPENSATION
• Salary Range: $20.00 to 25.00, hourly.
• This internship position will begin June 2024 and run through August 2024 with a commitment of 30-40 hours per week.
• This is a local position preferably in/near Berkeley, CA.
• All internship applicants will be considered regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or based on disability.
If this opportunity sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you.
