Our company culture emphasizes exceptional customer service, with over 1,000 WSET-trained colleagues providing knowledgeable support across all channels.

  • Representing Majestic's values and serving as a source of support for junior team members, feeding back to the Store Manager as needed.

Requirements
To succeed in this role, you will require:
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, target-driven retail or hospitality environment.
  • Self-motivation, with the ability to thrive when working independently and collaboratively.
  • Excellent communication and time management skills.
  • A passion for wine knowledge, which can be developed further through certification programmes.
  • A valid UK/EU/EEA driving licence for at least 12 months, with no more than six penalty points.

What We Offer
