savvo is looking to expand our team!  We are a growing digital tech startup in the wine industry with a commercially viable product, paying customers, and a huge opportunity.

Did you ever stand in front of the wine aisle and wonder “what to get”?  Well the overwhelming majority of wine drinkers feel the way!  Our aim is to revolutionize the way people buy, communicate, and talk about wine.  We accomplish this by making the wine selection process easier, more individualized and effective by placing touchscreen decision-making kiosks in grocery store wine aisles.  No longer will buying wine be a point of frustration for everyday wine shoppers or a missed opportunity for the wine producer to connect with their next best customer.

The venture is young enough that there is still unlimited potential to help shape the company, yet we have enough traction that we’re confident that we are onto something “big.”  We need to add another A-player to get us to the next level.  We don’t have a strict definition of what the ideal candidate looks like, but we do know that the next team member has to:

·      Have a flexible and dedicated schedule (has the bandwidth to focus on savvo)

·      Able to work for equity until more investments come in (could be a week, could be a year)

·      Personality Must-haves:

o   Enthusiastic (because positive energy is infectious)

o   Resilient (because entrepreneurship is hard)

o   Easy going (because no one likes a jerk)

o   Self-starter (because there is no time to hand hold)

o   Extroverted (learning inevitably involves talking to users & customers)

o   Communicator (because it’s all about communication)

o   Hungry (it's a race to the top, you have to want it!)

·      Experience in one of these (or possibly other) fields would be nice:

o   Entrepreneurship

o   Sales

o   Digital technology/apps

o   Wine industry

o   Corporate grocery stores

o   Digital or Retail marketing

o   Design/UX

·      Not necessarily needed:

o   Deep understanding of wine (novices are often needed to know what other novices need)

o   A rich uncle (but that would be cool)

 

If this sounds like you, let’s talk!
