Job Description:

Ready to get the party started?

We call it the Party Center - our beer, wine and spirits headquarters at Dierbergs. You'll call it a great opportunity to showcase your business- and customer-focused skills in a supportive environment where you'll constantly learn and develop your expertise in the world of wine, beer and liquor.

Are you a restaurant industry pro who's already immersed in the liquor/beer/wine world but tired of insane hours, no benefits and no control over your income? A retail professional who's over the inconsistency of commission? There is a better way: join Dierbergs as our Beverage Center Manager. In this 100% hands-on, primarily vendor relationship-focused role, your day involves:

• Leading, directing and supervising the activity of store vendors
• Maintaining exceptional department standards and conditions, including properly stocked shelves, tagged and merchandised products and display integrity
• Managing ordering, shipment and inventory control processes
• Directing wine tastings and in-store promotional events, educating customers in wine profiles and food pairings and keeping up to date on industry trends and products
• Assisting with customer concerns, special orders and promoting an environment that ensures the highest levels of service

  • Unlike the chaos of a bar or restaurant, you'll provide personalized customer and vendor service as you establish Dierbergs as the store of choice to shop for wine, beer and spirits.
  • You'll enjoy benefits rarely found in the restaurant or retail industry.
    What you need to succeed
