Job Description

Lagniappe: \ lan-ˈyap \ - a small unexpected gift given to a customer by a merchant; a little something extra

Lagniappe Beverage is a distributor and importer of wines, spirits and cider from around the world. We don't specialize in working with big "brands," but rather, represent family owned and artisanal producers. People you can be proud of representing.

Since the beginning of 2020, Lagniappe's core business has evolved and we have become one of the fastest growing distributors in Illinois. We are seeking beverage professionals to help us build on our successes in the Northern Suburbs, Southwest Suburbs and downtown Chicago sales territories.

At Lagniappe, we believe that success comes from being greater than the sum of our parts. We value employing people of different backgrounds, passions and specialties. We depend on these differences and find our key competitive strength in the autonomy of each of our individuals. The phrase, "Well, that's just the way it's always been done..." doesn't exist here.

Our ideal candidate is enthusiastic, organized, positive-minded and passionate about working with a diverse portfolio of family owned producers. Those who can demonstrate these qualities along with industry knowledge, relationships and experience will quickly move to the top of our list.

Lagniappe has the energy of an upstart with the backbone of an established company. We're excited to meet you. Contact us right away for a chat.

Benefits, base salary and no cap on commissions, ever. This is the place to take your career as a beverage sales professional to the next level.
