Ambassador

Role Overview
We’re hiring a part‑time Ambassador in New Orleans to grow our membership and sell wine at events. This is an ideal role for a young, hungry wine or hospitality professional (or aspiring one), especially someone from a historically under‑represented background, who is interested in studying for certifications (WSET, CMS, etc.) and wants real‑world experience, mentorship, and access to great wine.

You’ll work directly with me, Kat. I’m a WSET IV Diploma Sommelier, a licensed winemaker and importer, and the founder/manager of Hooligan Juice Club. We’ll check in briefly each week via phone to talk goals and logistics but you’ll take it from there. You will be the face and hands of HJC in New Orleans while I handle the wine, legal, and online aspects of the business from Europe and the West Coast.

Key Responsibilities

1. Grow Hooligan Juice Club membership in New Orleans.
   • Talk to guests at events, tastings, and pop‑ups; explain the club; sign people up.
   • Follow up with warm leads via email, text, or DMs.
2. Sell wine at events you staff or run.
   • Pour, talk through wines, and guide guests toward bottles or bundles that fit them.
   • Close on‑the‑spot sales and club signups.
3. Build and nurture community.
   • Be a welcoming, queer‑affirming presence at events and pickups.
   • Help host 4+ large parties per year and smaller gatherings in between.
4. Assist with marketing and outreach support.
   • Help with in‑person flyering, occasional sampling events, and basic social amplification (e.g., sharing posts, appearing in content if comfortable).
5. Host and manage events.
   • Prep, setup/breakdown, check‑in, and all sales and logistics on event days.
