Job Overview

Most successful representatives earn $100,000–$150,000+, with top performers exceeding that, through an uncapped commission structure and an established customer base in Canada's premier wine territory.

This is a relationship-driven sales role, not a transactional one.

You'll represent a premium portfolio of family-owned, imported wineries to Toronto's restaurants, sommeliers, and beverage directors — introducing new wines, running staff tastings, coordinating wine dinners, and growing accounts you build yourself.

If you're entrepreneurial, know Toronto's on-premise wine trade, and want a career where your effort sets your income, we'd like to meet you.

What you'll be doing

  • Growing and managing a portfolio of restaurant and hospitality accounts
  • Building relationships with sommeliers, beverage directors, owners, and managers
  • Introducing customers to new wines and producers
  • Conducting staff education sessions and wine tastings
  • Coordinating wine dinners and special events, including occasional visits from winemakers
  • Identifying new business opportunities throughout your territory
  • Managing account receivables
  • Working toward defined sales and profitability targets

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Proven success in wine or beverage sales, preferably within Ontario's on-premise market
  • Existing relationships within Toronto's restaurant community are a strong asset
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and organizational skills
  • Comfortable using Microsoft Office and CRM tools
  • Valid Ontario driver's licence and reliable vehicle
  • Must reside within the GTA

Preferred:

  • A hunter mentality — comfortable prospecting new accounts, not just managing existing ones
  • WSET certification or Sommelier designation
  • Smart Serve certification
  • College diploma, university degree, or equivalent professional experience

Compensation

Compensation & Benefits

  • Uncapped commission structure with quarterly performance bonuses
  • Established customer base to accelerate your start
  • Andrew Peller Limited employee benefits
  • Ongoing wine education, including occasional travel to visit producers we represent
  • Flexibility to work from home when appropriate, with most of your time spent in the field with customers
