The type of person we are seeking is already excited by the whiskey category, is curious about our consumers and is energized by the prospect of creating a new legacy. They are a strong, instinctive marketer - a leader with a point of view who sees possibility and can articulate it with clarity and passion, such that it inspires followership and enrollment from others. Someone who thoughtfully builds great relationships at all levels!
