About the role

Our partner operates as "a hospitality-driven ecosystem building and growing purpose-driven brands" in beverage alcohol and CPG sectors. The organization comprises interconnected ventures focused on taking brands "from strategy to shelf, from first account to national scale." Barrel & Bloom Agency, their sales division, provides fractional executive leadership and specialized field sales teams for emerging brands.

  • Self-directed accountability with structured KPI tracking

  • 21+ years old, eligible to work in the United States


Why Choose Us

At Pronghorn, we don’t offer jobs — we offer impact. Every seat here is a chance to build, influence, and disrupt industries that weren’t designed with everyone in mind. We are culture shapers, talent developers, and brand builders who believe in doing meaningful work that leaves a legacy.


When you join the Pronghorn network, you’re stepping into a community of leaders, creators, and innovators driving real change across the spirits industry. Here, your voice matters. Your ideas move. And your work shows up in real ways — in culture, in communities, and on shelves nationwide.


We move fast. We lead boldly. And we invest in our people every step of the way.
