Do you have a strong social media influence with a passion for being part of a new, national spirits brand? If so, we want to hear from you!

Here's a bit more about the company...

Crafting Legends, pouring memories.

Our mission at Round 2 Spirits is to develop innovative, disruptive, and iconic spirits brands that capture consumers’ imagination and create memorable, shared experiences.

As our name implies, we’ve done this before. We were founded by a small group of seasoned executives – all close friends – who previously worked together to create and lead prominent global spirits brands. With Round 2 Spirits, we recognized a tremendous opportunity to leverage our collective experience to identify scalable consumer opportunities for innovative products that aren’t being addressed by today’s brands.

Bringing together a team of top industry talent who all share a commitment to building high-quality, world-class artisanal spirits, we’re planning a national launch of our first brand later this year.

Locations: We are specifically looking for candidates who reside in Dallas, Chicago, South Florida (Miami/Ft. Lauderdale), NY/NJ, Los Angeles, and San Diego. This role will be 100% remote and candidates must be able to travel.
