About Boutinot

At Boutinot, wine is at the heart of everything we do. Since 1980, we’ve been building long-term partnerships with producers around the world to source, create and supply exceptional wines to independent wine merchants, the hospitality sector and major retailers across the UK.

Today, we’re one of the UK’s leading wine companies, combining our own award-winning production with an extensive portfolio from some of the world’s most respected wine regions. Our reputation has been built on expertise, quality, integrity and lasting relationships.

We’re proud of our collaborative and supportive culture, where people are encouraged to learn,
share ideas and develop their careers. Whether you’re already working in wine or looking to build your knowledge, you’ll be joining a business that’s passionate about its people as well as its products.

The Job role

At Boutinot, we believe in helping our customers sell the wines their customers want to drink.
That means understanding their business, listening to what they need and recommending wines that will work for their customers — not simply selling products.

We’re looking for a Regional Sales Account Manager to join our team covering Thames Valley and Anglia.
You’ll build long-term relationships with predominantly independent wine merchants, helping them to develop successful wine ranges while identifying opportunities to grow their business and ours.

Working alongside colleagues across Sales, Product, Marketing and our growing Category Insight and Category Innovation teams, you’ll bring together market knowledge, commercial awareness and an outstanding portfolio to support customers in an evolving market.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing and developing relationships with existing customers.
• Identifying and winning new business opportunities.
• Recommending wines that meet customer and consumer needs.
• Using market insight to support customer buying decisions.
• Introducing new wines and product innovations.
• Planning and managing your territory effectively.
• Representing Boutinot at tastings, trade events and customer visits.

We’re looking for someone who

• Has experience in field sales or account management.
• Has experience within the wine or wider drinks industry.
• Has good wine knowledge and a genuine enthusiasm for wine.
• Enjoys building long-term customer relationships.
• Is commercially aware and self-motivated.
• Can manage their own territory effectively.

Why join Boutinot?

As well as joining a friendly, knowledgeable and collaborative team, you’ll have the opportunity to build your career in the wine industry — working with colleagues across Sales, Marketing, Product and our Category Insight and Category Innovation teams, and developing long-term relationships with independent wine merchants across your territory.

We also offer:

• Competitive salary, depending on experience.
• Car allowance (as it’s a field-based role)
• Home-based when you’re not out visiting customers or attending meetings
• Funded WSET training opportunity and opportunities to develop your wine knowledge.
• 25 days’ annual leave plus UK bank/public holidays.
• Your birthday off (paid day off).
• 4 quarterly wellbeing days (paid days off) per year.
• Private health insurance for colleagues after a qualifying length of service.
• Workplace pension scheme with 7% employer contribution.
• Cycle to work scheme.
• EV car scheme after a qualifying length of service.
