In a nutshell

Small Lot Wine & Spirits is a rapidly growing wine and spirits importer and distributor. We import wine and spirits from 6 countries, have a portfolio of over 500 distinct products, and distribute to over 1200 liquor stores and restaurants in 3 states. In 2011 we were founded on a mission to bring family-owned, craft wine and spirits to every table—whether you’re looking to spend $10 or $100.

Smooth operations are a core value for us, and our employees are the foundation on which we are built. We are laser-focused on creating a frictionless experience for our customers from the moment they place an order to when the product lands on their floor. That’s where you come in! We are looking for hard-working, fun, and responsible delivery drivers to help us take over the (wine) world! Just kidding…. kind of ;)

We’re a small company, and proud of it! Being here means you’ll find yourself having regular conversations with C-level management and that your opinion matters. Do you see something that can be improved? We’re all ears. Being a rapidly growing company means we are constantly hiring and opening new positions. How you fit into the puzzle can change as your career grows with us.

At Small Lot, we believe that a diverse team is an innovative team and something worth celebrating. A range of perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment (not to mention more fun). We’re committed to equality and inclusivity across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience.

You’ll succeed with flying colors if you are the following:

• Detail-oriented - Picking, packing, and delivering a truckload of wine with up to 100 different products can be dizzying. We are looking for detail-oriented folks who thrive in making order out of chaos.
• Have a great attitude - You are on the front lines of our business and will interact with our customers more than anyone else in the company. Being flexible, courteous, and conscientious is a must.
• A great communicator - You may run into issues while on the road and it is imperative that we keep open lines of communication going between our trucks and our warehouse.
• Safety conscious - Making sure our employees are safe while working is our number one goal. While we do everything we can to make sure you have a safe work environment, we rely on you to follow all safety protocols and guidelines throughout your day.
• Able to lift 40 pounds - Sadly we aren’t delivering potato chips. Each case of wine can weigh anywhere between 15 and 40 pounds, and a typical delivery route will contain about 70 - 120 cases that need to be hauled.
• Have a clean driving record.
