About Water2Wine Kenya
Water2Wine Kenya is a growing premium fruit wine company based in Nairobi, producing distinctive wines made
from fruits and ingredients such as strawberry, kiwi, blueberry, chocolate, raspberry, coconut, mango, peach, and
other locally inspired flavors.
We are building a new category of premium wine—one focused on bold flavor, memorable experiences, and a
fresh approach to how consumers experience wine.
As we expand our presence in Nairobi’s restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges, and hospitality venues, we are looking
for energetic and commercially minded sales professionals who can help introduce Water2Wine Kenya to new
customers and turn those relationships into long-term business.
The Opportunity
This is not a desk-based sales position.
We are looking for someone who enjoys meeting people, opening doors, building relationships, and creating new
business opportunities.
Your primary responsibility will be to identify and engage restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges, retailers, and other
potential hospitality partners throughout Nairobi.
You will introduce decision-makers to the Water2Wine brand, generate interest in our wines, coordinate tastings
when appropriate, follow up with prospects, and help convert opportunities into active accounts and repeat
customers.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and prospect new restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges, retailers, and hospitality accounts.
- Visit potential customers and introduce them to Water2Wine Kenya and our portfolio of premium fruit wines.
- Build relationships with restaurant owners, beverage managers, F&B managers, purchasing managers, bartenders, and other key decision-makers.
- Secure meetings, product presentations, and wine tastings with qualified prospective customers.
- Work with the Water2Wine team to coordinate tastings and account-development opportunities.
- Convert qualified prospects and tastings into purchase commitments and active accounts.
- Maintain consistent follow-up with prospective and existing customers.
- Develop a strong pipeline of sales opportunities across Nairobi.
- Identify opportunities for Water2Wine wines to be featured on wine lists, cocktail menus, dessert menus,
- special events, and other hospitality programs.
- Maintain accurate records of customer visits, contacts, follow-ups, opportunities, and sales activity using the company’s CRM and sales tracking systems.
- Provide feedback from the market regarding customer preferences, objections, competitor activity, pricing, and emerging opportunities.
- Represent Water2Wine Kenya professionally and communicate the brand story, product positioning, and value proposition effectively.
Who We’re Looking For - We are looking for someone who is confident, resourceful, persistent, and comfortable creating opportunities rather than waiting for leads to come to them.
The ideal candidate: - Is comfortable approaching new businesses and speaking directly with decision-makers.
- Has strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Is self-motivated and able to work independently in the field.
- Understands that successful sales requires consistent prospecting and follow-up.
- Is comfortable working toward measurable sales and business-development targets.
- Has strong organizational and follow-up skills.
- Can learn and confidently communicate the story behind a unique premium product.
- Is comfortable using technology to track leads, activities, follow-ups, and results.
Experience in wine, alcoholic beverages, FMCG, hospitality, restaurants, hotels, nightlife, distribution, or field sales
is an advantage.
However, extensive wine knowledge is not required. Product and brand training will be provided.
We are especially interested in candidates who already understand Nairobi’s hospitality market or have
relationships within restaurants, bars, hotels, lounges, events, or beverage distribution.
How Success Will Be Measured
This is a results-oriented sales role.
Performance will be measured through clear sales and business-development metrics, including:
New qualified accounts identified
Decision-maker meetings secured
Customer visits and sales activity
Tastings and product presentations scheduled
New accounts opened
Purchase commitments and orders generated
Follow-up completion and pipeline activity
Repeat business and account growth
We believe strongly in measuring activity and results. Our sales systems are designed to give successful team
members visibility into their pipeline and help them understand exactly where opportunities are progressing.
What We Offer
Opportunity to join an emerging Kenyan wine brand during an important stage of growth.
Training on Water2Wine products, brand positioning, and sales approach.
Access to company sales and CRM tools to manage prospects and opportunities.
Support for qualified tastings and customer presentations.
Opportunity to build relationships across Nairobi’s hospitality and beverage industry.
Performance-based earning and growth opportunities.
Opportunity for increased responsibility as Water2Wine Kenya expands throughout Kenya and into
additional markets.
The Person Who Will Thrive Here
You may be a strong fit if you are the type of person who can walk into a restaurant you have never visited,
introduce yourself professionally, find the right decision-maker, start a conversation, and create an opportunity.
You do not need to know everything about wine on your first day.
You do need initiative, confidence, discipline, curiosity, and the willingness to follow through.
We can teach you our wines.
You bring the drive to open the door.
