  • Advanced knowledge and certification preferred in whiskey, bourbon, and tequila (e.g., Stave & Thief, WSET Spirits, CRT for tequila, etc.)

  • Experience with premium tequila and agave-based spirits highly valued

  • Strong inventory control, ordering systems, and vendor negotiation experience

  • Proven ability to manage a team, coordinate bar operations, and lead service excellence
