Retail Trade Sales Representative
Lift Bridge Brewing Company, Stillwater, MN, United States
About The Role
At Lift Bridge Brewery, we're building something bigger than great beer. We're building a brand, a culture, and a team of people who want to win.
Sales Representative (Hybrid) We're looking for a driven, relationship-focused Sales Representative to help grow our presence across our territories. This is a hybrid role that blends remote account management (calls, planning, follow-ups) with in-market execution (account visits, events, activations). If you're motivated, organized, and excited about growing a brand in a competitive space, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
What You'll Do
Partner with distributor teams to drive sales, visibility, and execution
Build and maintain relationships with on- and off-premise accounts
Plan and execute a hybrid schedule:
Remote work: sales calls, account follow-ups, planning, reporting
In-market: account visits, ride-alongs, merchandising, events
Secure:
New draft lines, features, and placements (on-premise)
Distribution, displays, and promotions (off-premise)
Execute retail standards including pricing, placement, and brand visibility
Support samplings, events, and promotions that bring the brand to life
Attend key distributor and retailer meetings
Manage and execute local events, including coordination and on-site representation
Stay organized with reporting, planning, and communication with internal teams
What We're Looking For
2-4 years of sales experience (beverage/alcohol industry preferred)
Familiarity with the 3-tier system and Twin Cities market
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Highly organized with strong follow-through
Self-starter who can manage their time effectively in a hybrid environment
Comfortable balancing independent work with team collaboration
Willingness to work occasional nights and weekends for events
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Ability to lift 30 lbs repeatedly
Proficiency with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, etc.)
Bonus Points
Cicerone Certification or other beer education
Bachelor's degree in a related field
Previous experience working with distributors or key accounts
Why This Role is Different
Hybrid flexibility - manage your schedule with a mix of remote work and in-market execution
Ownership of your accounts- you're not just executing, you're building something
Growth opportunity - high performers will grow with us
Fast-paced, high-impact environment - your work directly drives results
