Is the mounting workload catching up with you? Harvest is fast approaching, your inbox is overflowing, your admin is piling up, and there simply aren't enough hours in the day?
Perhaps what you need isn't another meeting about the problem. Perhaps you need another capable pair of hands.
That's where I come in! ?
With over 10 years of experience in the South African wine industry, I've worn quite a few hats (and occasionally several at once).
? Winemaking & Cellar Operations – From grape intake and fermentation to blending, bottling, production planning and everything in between.
? Compliance & Quality Assurance – HACCP, BRCGS, IPW, traceability, audits, SOPs and all that paperwork nobody particularly enjoys but everybody needs.
? Operations & Administration – Stock management, procurement, budgets, reporting, supplier coordination and getting systems to actually work.
? Commercial & Customer Relations – Wine buying, producer liaison, sales support, hospitality and customer relationship management.
Marketing & Communication – Wine writing, content creation, brand storytelling and turning technical wine jargon into something people actually want to read.
I'm not afraid of a cellar floor, a spreadsheet, a difficult customer or a logistical nightmare.
I'm practical, adaptable, organised and quite comfortable rolling up my sleeves to get things done.
? Ideally looking in the Stellenbosch, Durbanville or Brackenfell areas.
I'm exploring permanent opportunities across winemaking, production, operations, compliance, administration and commercial management.
So, if your workload is starting to resemble an overfilled fermentation tank, perhaps it's time to make a little room for someone who can help take the pressure off. ?
