직무 소개
For almost one hundred years, generations of the Gordon family have carefully laid down stocks of whisky for special occasions and personal consumption. This rare collection has become known as House of Hazelwood, after the family’s Dufftown home – Hazelwood House.
House of Hazelwood is a fully-owned subsidiary of William Grant & Sons which opens the doors to the world’s greatest collection of aged Scotch whisky. Initially targeting enthusiasts, collectors and the luxury gifting market we draw on the breadth and depth of the William Grant & Sons reserves to offer our audience access not just to very old whiskies, but also to storytelling whiskies of rarity and parcels of stock that the market has never seen before.
House of Hazelwood operates all aspects of bottling, repack, warehousing and pick-pack and dispatch from the WG&S Arete site in Cumbernauld, which is the Group luxury bottling and warehousing facility.

우리의 이상적인 후보자
We are looking to recruit an experienced self-starter with the ability to influence colleagues effectively at all levels (from the warehouse and production floor up to directors of the WG&S Group business). The successful candidate will have the capability and mindset to take full ownership of the function, working autonomously to drive progress and deliver against targets set by the House of Hazelwood board. They will find ways to get the job done through their knowledge and ability to influence others within an environment (bottling hall, warehousing, supplier relationships and dispatch) where they will often be competing to secure priority.

- Strong communication skills with an outstanding ability to influence and hold to account a number of internal stakeholders and external suppliers across every layer of the organization.
- Experience in negotiating and monitoring SLAs and contracts with both internal and external suppliers.
- Ability to think commercially, with an emphasis on constantly seeking to improve profitability.
- Ability to reliably work productively and to set own schedule without constant supervision – a natural problem solver.
- Adaptability, energy, with a desire to stretch themselves within the role and learn through action.
- Understanding of premium spirits and / or luxury is desirable but not essential.
- Experience working within a DTC environment is desirable but not essential
- Experience of working within a Group business setting is desirable but not essential
