Yampa Valley | Archetype Distillery

About Archetype Distillery

Archetype Distillery is a Vail Valley craft spirits producer making clear spirits distilled exclusively from wine grapes. Our production facility is in Gypsum, and our Vail Village tasting room showcases our products through elevated cocktails and hospitality. We are growing our presence in Colorado and looking for a locally connected sales representative to build lasting relationships in the Yampa Valley.

The Opportunity

We are hiring a part-time, W-2 Regional Sales Representative based in Steamboat Springs to develop on-premise and off-premise business throughout Steamboat Springs and surrounding areas. This is an independent, field-focused role for someone who enjoys prospecting, building meaningful relationships, and turning new placements into repeat business. The position reports to the Director of Sales.

What You’ll Do

·        Prospect, open, and manage high-quality bar, restaurant, hotel, resort, and retail accounts throughout the territory.

·        Build strong relationships with beverage directors, bartenders, managers, retail buyers, and distributor partners.

·        Earn new points of distribution while prioritizing account fit, placement quality, and long-term sales potential.

·        Drive account velocity and repeat orders through consistent follow-up, staff education, merchandising, and account support.

·        Conduct product and cocktail trainings and help teams confidently recommend and serve Archetype spirits.

·        Plan and execute tastings, in-store promotions, cocktail features, menu placements, bar takeovers, and seasonal activations.

·        Coordinate with distribution partners on inventory, ordering, account service, and market opportunities.

·        Maintain organized account records, sales pipeline, visit activity, and regular performance updates for the Director of Sales.

·        Represent the brand professionally at local industry events and community activations as needed.

How Success Is Measured

·        New points of distribution, including the quality and relevance of each placement.

·        Collected sales, reorder frequency, and sales velocity within active accounts.

·        Staff trainings, account engagement, and effective product education.

·        Menu visibility, cocktail features, promotional activations, and measurable follow-through.

·        Consistent prospecting, territory coverage, reporting, and distributor coordination.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

·        Experience in beverage alcohol sales, hospitality, retail account management, or other relationship-driven outside sales; local market knowledge is strongly preferred.

·        Existing relationships with Steamboat-area bars, restaurants, hotels, or retailers are a plus.

·        Confident prospecting and presenting to buyers, with the persistence to follow through after an initial placement.

·        Self-directed, organized, and comfortable managing a flexible part-time schedule in the field.

·        Strong communication skills and enthusiasm for premium craft spirits and hospitality.

·        Based in Steamboat Springs or close enough to serve the territory reliably.

·        Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation suitable for mountain and winter travel.

·        Ability to attend occasional evening or weekend tastings and events.

·        Must be at least 21 years old; responsible alcohol-service certification or willingness to obtain it.

Compensation & Work Arrangement

This is a part-time W-2 employee position with hourly compensation plus performance-based sales commission. Commission eligibility and calculation are governed by the company’s written commission plan, including tiered commissions on eligible collected sales and a qualifying menu-placement commission rate that replaces, rather than stacks on top of, the standard rate. Hours and schedule will be coordinated with the Director of Sales based on territory needs. Approved business mileage and field expenses are reimbursed under company policy.

Why Join Archetype

·        Help shape a growing premium spirits brand in the Yampa Valley.

·        Own meaningful relationships and contribute directly to market strategy.

·        Work closely with leadership in a hands-on, entrepreneurial environment.
