New Positions Available At Hop Culture

Every once in a while, we post opportunities for driven and attentive individuals who want to join our team and develop creative, fun, and — above all — journalistic ways to cover the craft beer movement and its shapers. Our small but skilled staff is made up of journalists; we’re looking for like-minded people who want to write about beer.

Our coverage focuses on the intersection of craft beer and travel, gear, people and culture. Despite covering the hoppy and alcoholic, we are looking for talented and determined candidates who want to help us grow into one of the largest online publications dedicated to craft beer. You can find our current openings below.

Outside Sales Rep – Hop Culture Magazine

Location: Pittsburgh, PA // New York, NY // Flexible

Here’s food for thought: you can have everything you want, if you help others get what they want. To be an effective salesperson, you don’t push anything; you talk to interesting people, learn about their lives and problems, and help them find solutions.

In this position, you’ll use our platforms to reach an engaged audience of drinkers and brewers. You’ll then connect them with products and services they might find useful. Sound hard? It’s not, really. It simply requires a willingness to meet new people, learn about their problems, and see if our company has solutions.

If you can do that, you’ll get a dynamic work environment, a competitive base salary, 10% of sales, unlimited paid vacation, health insurance, and all the beer you can drink. You’ll need a competitive spirit and superb interpersonal skills. Previous sales experience is an advantage but not required.

Sales Representative Responsibilities:

Generating and qualifying leads.
Negotiating contracts with prospective clients.
Cold calling and meeting prospective clients.
Helping determine pricing schedules for quotes, promotions, and negotiations.
Giving sales presentations.
Coordinating sales efforts with marketing programs.
Understanding and promoting company programs.
Obtaining deposits and balance of payments.
Preparing and submitting sales contracts.
Maintaining client records.
