Full Time Year Round Distribution Associate / Delivery Driver

Posted: 03/31/2024

Cape Cod Beer is a 20 year old self distributing microbrewery located in Hyannis MA, on Cape Cod and distributes beer within a 50 mile radius of the brewery. We have 20+ year-round employees. We're the "old guard" in the local craft beer world, which means we've been around the block a couple of times and are working on doing things as efficiently as we can, and making things as easy as we can for our team while still doing them to the best of our ability. This is certainly true in our Distribution Team.

At the height of the summer season we have over 650 accounts pouring and selling our beer to a thirsty public! We need strong, street smart, customer- focused Distribution Associates to get that beer to them. If that sounds like you.. read on!

This job is about balancing customer service and efficiency. It's about being the eyes and ears of the sales team, while also knowing the ins and outs of getting around Cape Cod when traffic can be at its worst! We're busy in the summer - but do the work year round. We like to have 3 year round people in Distribution and 2 summer people to help share the load. Our Distro team likes to work hard play hard, and get the job done.
