Job Title: Southern California Market Manager

Off Hours is a Spirits Company selling bourbon that is authentically crafted for today’s modern drinker. Crafted with aromas of creamy vanilla, hints of nutmeg and a silky finish of lingering honey, Off Hours bourbon is meant to engage our senses and change perceptions. This is bourbon for creating memories, for celebrating each other, and for building real-life connections. It’s not about preconceived notions of artisanal cocktails and dimly lit bars. It’s for everyone, everywhere. Founded by Jake Ireland and launched in 2020, Off Hours is aged in American white oak barrels for over five years at MGP Distillery in Lawrenceburg, IN.

The position is multifaceted and calls for attentiveness with the ability to identify and act on opportunities to increase brand presence and awareness while meeting sales goals.
