ORGANISATION
Lowlander was launched early in 2016 and the first 3,5 years has been nothing short of an adventure. We started off by brewing differently: with botanicals, to give extra flavour and character to our beers. Consumers love what we are doing. We are one of the fastest growing beers in the Netherlands. We have launched in London, Manchester, Berlin, Copenhagen & Hong Kong and are now available in more than 1800 accounts. In 2017 we were listed as the top 100 Food & Beverage Innovators and we recently won 4 awards at the World Beer Awards and another 4 at the International Beer Challenge in London. And our journey has just begun…
We are on a mission to broaden the horizons of beer. We are going to become a must stock beer here in our home market the Lowlands (Netherlands); one bottle, one bar, one city at the time. As our brand ambassador you are responsible for bringing to life Lowlander Beer in bars, restaurants & retail. You will talk to and approach new accounts who want to stock Lowlander. Work with our existing accounts and support them with activations, trainings and point of sale material. And get others excited to sell on your behalf. Therefore we are looking for a:
