Part-time Wine & Spirits Brand Ambassador

Job Overview

We are Margin, and we work with a high density of liquor stores in across the country.

The Role

We're hiring part-time Brand Ambassador / Sales Associates to work with a specific focus on introducing customers to wines and spirits. You'll be stationed near featured displays, engaging shoppers in friendly conversation, answering questions, and helping them discover products they'll love.

This isn't a stocker or cashier role, it's a sales and customer education role. The best people in this job genuinely enjoy talking to strangers and feel rewarded when someone walks out with a bottle they're excited about.

Schedule (15 to 20 hours per week, local time)

Thursday 3 PM to 7 PM, Friday 1 PM to 8 PM, Saturday 12 PM to 7 PM

What You'll Do

• Engage customers on the sales floor with a warm, low-pressure approach
• Pitch featured house-label products using product knowledge we provide (cheat sheets, tasting notes, talking points)
• Answer questions about wine and spirits selection, pairings, and value
• Keep featured displays neat and well-stocked during your shift
• Report shift sales counts to the manager at the end of each shift

What You'll Earn

• This position pays $30 per hour, plus extra pay when you exceed your sales goals.

Requirements:

• 21 with valid ID
• Comfortable approaching strangers and starting conversations
• Reliable transportation to work location
• Comfortable standing for 4–8 hours and approaching customers proactively
• Strong communication skills and a customer-first attitude
• Available for the full weekly schedule above (Thursday, Friday and Saturday)
• Reliable attendance — this is a small team and no-shows directly impact the business

Bonus points:

• Restaurant, bar, or wine retail experience

How to Apply

Apply through Indeed with your resume and a brief note answering one question: What's one wine or spirit you'd happily recommend to a stranger, and why?

First-round interviews are 15-minute phone calls; if it's a fit, you'll do a paid trial shift the following weekend.
