UME Plum Liqueur, the rapidly growing, game-changing plum spirit, is seeking a passionate, highly motivated on-premise sales manager based in Florida.

Meet UME
UME is the first-of-its-kind U.S. produced plum spirit that launched in NYC in June 2021. UME exists within the rapidly growing liqueurs/aperitifs category. With a bright, all-natural fruit-forward flavor and showstopping royal purple hue, UME represents a game-changing new category of spirit that engages all the senses and elevates every experience. Unlike other liqueurs/aperitifs, UME can be enjoyed on its own or paired with any base spirit or sparkling wine in an endless array of cocktails. 

UME was founded in 2020 by Jenn Toyzer who spent a decade working in finance, including over 8 years at Goldman Sachs. One night she discovered a plum spirit that was so delicious she felt she had been “struck by lightning”. Inspired by the opportunity to introduce a revolutionary product to the rapidly growing spritz and aperitif category, Jenn walked away from her career, embarking on a journey to create UME with a vision of bringing to market a drink that is an experience in and of itself.
 
Meeting consumer demand for a delicious and versatile spirit that is lower in ABV and half the sugar of competing products, the response to UME has been overwhelming. Since launching in Summer 2021, UME has rapidly expanded to 7 U.S. markets, and over 1,600 points of distribution. Our signature cocktail, the UME Spritz, is fast becoming the go-to Spritz / low ABV cocktail of choice for night-time revelers.
 
UME has been featured on menus at leading hospitality institutions including Nobu, Soho House, Union Square Hospitality, Major Food Group, The Standard Hotels, The Setai and many more. We have been featured alongside major brands at high-profile cultural events at NYFW, Art Basel and more. We have rapidly expanded our retail footprint with national and local chains including Total Wine & More, Binny's Beverage Depot and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits.
 
The Opportunity:

UME is poised to become the category-defining aperitif for the night-time reveler. We are seeking a highly motivated, entrepreneurial Sales Manager to join our team at this exciting moment in our growth trajectory. This candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside the founding team as we expand UME across Florida, with a focus on growing UME’s presence in the on-premise channel.

The ideal candidate brings 3+ years of industry experience, including knowledge of and relationships in key Florida on-premise markets (e.g., Tampa/Sarasota, Orlando, Miami, etc.). Excitement and passion about an opportunity to join a young, fast emerging brand as it enters its next stage of growth is a must. Creativity, motivation, enthusiasm, and a passion for growing alongside the brand will be key to success in this role.

You have the opportunity to change the way people drink, reshape and revitalize the cocktail landscape.  You will be joining a visionary founding team who developed a game-changing low ABV spirit that brings delight and joyful surprise to those who experience it. This is not a job in a major corporate machine - you will be responsible for creating strategy, directly affecting the development and growth trajectory of the fastest growing brand in the rapidly growing category for low ABV spirits. Compensation will include equity incentive to align the Company’s success with yours. 

Working at UME Plum Liqueur is a chance to question the staid, old guard of drinking and celebrate a new era of togetherness and sharing genuinely delicious, joyful beverages. If you are looking for an opportunity to be part of an exciting and challenging adventure, to be part of the story of a rapidly growing, game-changing brand, we welcome you to join the World of UME. 

At UME, inclusivity is not a policy, it is who we are. We fundamentally believe that diversity is not just a box to be checked, rather we celebrate differences in race, cultural heritage, gender identity, sexuality and experiences. The spirit of UME was forged from the founding team's passion for building an inclusive community - The World of UME we are creating is about adventure, open-mindedness, and above all a celebration of our ability to be together - U & ME.

Inclusivity, respect, integrity and sharing are the core values of UME. In UME’s World, we welcome anyone who comes with an open heart and curious mind.
