Now Hiring

New PA Ready-To-Drink, Spirits-based canned cocktail company is currently seeking a professional Regional Sales Manager with beverage alcohol experience. This is a player/coach role responsible for building relationships, expanding territories, growing PODs over multiple channels, and managing distributor partners, their reps & brand ambassadors. Qualified RSM applicants must have a strong understanding of both the beverage industry and state-by-state regulations in the on and off-premise trades. Prior distributor and personnel management experience is a must and the ability to delegate is imperative. This is an incredible opportunity to build on the ground floor with a motivated company that is expanding distribution in a fast-paced environment, where advancement opportunities will be plenty.

Already a partner with the The Mann Center and one of the first spirit-based, canned RTD beverages in Philadelphia, Top Dog Cocktails’ main on-premise goal is to break through the stigma that only bar-made cocktails are authentic, and that canned cocktails are less profitable. Pennsylvania, a control state, has state monopoly over the wholesaling or retailing of liquor in the off-premise trade (though we do have the ability to self-distribute product in PA in certain instances). For this reason, applicants must be able to thrive in an ultra-competitive environment to produce authorizations in the PLCB channel. We are also launching in the lower 8 counties of New Jersey in August 2022 so candidates must be familiar with NJ state regulations pertaining to alcohol.
