What are the responsibilities and job description for the Wine Guide - Sommelier position at Embarc Wines?
Unique wine bar coming to downtown San Francisco in the fall of 2024
With the opening of Embarc Wines, we're providing a safe space where guests can explore over 80 wines from across the globe. We are a unique wine bar different from anything currently in San Francisco. Guests will use their embarc card to choose the type and amount of wine they’d like dispensed by the ounce or glass, all the while learning a little - or a lot - about the varietal, style, and region of the wine. This is a self-guided experience so they can focus on enjoying the wine at their own pace, but we’re here to answer any questions or make recommendations.
This is where you come in! We are looking for individuals passionate about wine and customer service. Individuals who will help guide our guests to discover great new wines and old classics based on their specific needs and niches - someone who anticipates the guest's needs and proactively engages. With over 80 wines readily available, it's the perfect opportunity for the budding wine professional looking to maintain or enhance their palette!
A managerial mindset is a must! We don’t want you to feel like this is just a job. You must be able to work alone and act as the manager on duty when needed.
