Sales & Accounts Manager

About us Riverstone USA is the U.S. import and wholesale distribution company of Riverstone Estate, a family-owned vineyard in Australia’s Yarra Valley, and run hands-on by the family from the vineyard up. From our warehouse in Round Rock and our office in Houston we import Riverstone Estate wines — and, as we grow, other products — and sell them to licensed retailers, restaurants and hotels across Texas. Texas is our base; California and the rest of the United States come next. This is our first U.S. hire. You will work directly with the President, help open our first Texas accounts and keep the business’s books in order. The role will grow as the company grows. What you will do Sales Find and open accounts with wine retailers, restaurants, bars and hotels, starting in Austin, Round Rock and Houston. Present and taste the range with buyers and sommeliers, and run in-store tastings and trade events. Take orders, quote from the company’s price lists and look after existing accounts so they reorder. Keep the customer list and sales pipeline up to date, and report weekly sales to the President. Accounts Raise invoices, record payments and follow up overdue accounts, in line with Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission credit rules. Keep the books in QuickBooks or Xero: bank reconciliations, supplier bills and expenses. Prepare the records for Texas sales tax, Texas and federal excise tax and monthly TABC reports, working with the company’s accountant. Keep stock records for the Round Rock warehouse and reconcile them with sales each month. Operations Schedule deliveries to customers and keep delivery records. Help the customs broker and freight forwarder with paperwork when containers arrive from Australia. Keep the company’s permit, label approval and compliance files organised and current. What we are looking for Two or more years in sales, account management, bookkeeping or wholesale distribution. Experience in wine, beverage, hospitality or food distribution is a strong advantage. Confident with numbers and comfortable with QuickBooks, Xero or similar, and with Excel or Google Sheets. Organised, reliable and able to work independently in a small, growing company. Friendly and persuasive in person — you enjoy meeting buyers and building relationships. Valid Texas driver’s licence; travel within Texas, with business travel costs paid. 21 years or older (the role involves tasting and handling wine). Authorised to work in the United States.
