BROOKLYN WINE & SPIRITS SALES REPRESENTATIVE
Build the Territory. Own the Results.
VOS Selections is looking for an experienced, highly motivated wine and spirits salesperson to take ownership of Brooklyn; one of the most exciting, and competitive, beverage markets in the country. We are not looking for someone to maintain a route. We are looking for someone to build one.
This is an opportunity for someone who knows how to open doors, build relationships, close business, and turn a territory into their own.
There is significant upside for the person who earns it.
THE ROLE
- Take ownership of Brooklyn and aggressively build the territory
- Drive distribution, placements, and depletions
- Open new accounts, defend existing placements, and close the deal
- Develop deep, productive relationships with the best restaurants, wine bars, retailers, and buyers in the market
- Identify opportunities
- Represent our producers and VOS Selections as though your name were on the door
- Sell a serious, distinctive portfolio of wines and spirits that commands respect — and requires real selling skill to move
This is not order-taking. We want someone who knows how to sell.
WHO YOU ARE
You have experience in wine and/or spirits sales — wholesale, retail, restaurants, or some combination — and you can demonstrate that you've produced results.
You are:
- Highly knowledgeable about wine and/or spirits
- Persuasive, confident, and comfortable selling premium products
- Relentless about prospecting and opening new accounts
- Self-directed, accountable, and motivated by results
- Competitive by nature — you track your numbers because you want to beat them
- Organized and Disciplined, managing a demanding calendar and following through
- Comfortable with early mornings, long days in the market, and a full schedule of account visits
- Passionate about fine wine, spirits, restaurants, and serious food culture
Most importantly, you want to build something.
WHO WE ARE
You may recognize VOS Selections from our recent win at The Supreme Court challenging the punitive tariffs—but our reputation was earned long before that. VOS Selections is a premier importer and distributor of world-class wines, spirits, sake, and non-alcoholic beverages. For over 40 years and three generations, we've built one of the industry's most respected portfolios by staying true to who we are: a family company guided by integrity, transparency, and respect for the land. We work exclusively with small family farms, winemakers, and distillers who share those values, with a willingness to take chances on exceptional producers and regions before anyone else discovers them. Our motto is Fearless Importing.
We're looking for a salesperson who brings that same attitude to the market.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A real shot at building something, with one of the strongest artisanal portfolios in the market behind you, and pay that reflects what you actually bring in — the more you sell, the more you earn.
If you read this and felt something, terrific! Apply and tell us why you're the one who should have Brooklyn.

Product Distributor
Part of VOS Selections
A family company since 1987, VOS Selections was founded by Victor Owen Schwartz. Working alongside his mother who instilled in him a love for fabulous food and wine, Victor’s goal was to create a different kind of wine company from what existed at the time. Since 2019, Victor has been joined by his daughter, Chloë Syrah Schwartz, whose own experiences making wine and working in France have brought exciting, fresh ideas to the VOS Portfolio.
Today, VOS Selections honors those founding principles with Wines, Spirits, and Sakes from 16 different countries and 5 continents; every single product is carefully selected for its quality and authenticity. The wines and spirits in the VOS Selections portfolio are hand-made by people who strive to express the essential qualities of their place. The VOS team shares the same passion for excellence, serving the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia markets with personal service and a hands-on attention to customers’ needs.
The creation and enjoyment of Wine, Spirits, and Sakes is an essentially human experience. These hand-crafted products represent the ultimate expression of a culture and place, of people interacting at the highest level with nature, of families stewarding the land for generations to come.
The search is unending, and the experience is continually unfolding. We welcome you to engage in that experience whenever you open a VOS Selection.
