I drive sales, operations, and memorable hospitality events for wine and café businesses.
What I'm looking for
At REWINE, I manage B2B and B2C sales, build client partnerships, and organise wine tastings, corporate events, and brand activations from planning through delivery.
I've also led wine bar and café operations, including recruitment, training, service standards, cost control, marketing campaigns, and customer experience. I bring hands-on commercial support experience with ERP workflows, MerchantPro, Smartbill, and financial reporting.
