Sales Associate

 Horseneck Wine & Spirits, Greenwich Connecticut’s oldest and most prominent wine & spirits shop is seeking a Sales Associate to join our experienced and efficient team.  With new ownership as of 2018 Horseneck has quickly become the most exciting and service-focused place in town to shop for fine wine, beer, and spirits as well as a growing and highly curated selection of organic/natural wines.  Horseneck shares ownership and operations with Vanderbilt Ave Wine Merchants in Brooklyn, NY, one of NYC’s Top Wine Stores and a nationally recognized destination for natural wines, so this is a great opportunity to join a leading team in Greenwich and have opportunities to grow from exposure to the NYC market.  Personality and fit are key for this role.  You do not need to have a vast knowledge of wines and spirits (although it of course helps).  We are committed to helping you learn the complex and rewarding world of wine.  If you enjoy working with customers, feel energized from a great sales experience, and like going the extra mile for customers, then this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact at a top wine destination.  The position is full-time and $20/hr+, commensurate with experience.  We will also reimburse any wine certification exams the Sales Associate takes.  There is a lot of opportunity for growth as we see the ideal candidate as someone who can become a senior team member over time.
