About us
At the Midleton Distillery Visitor Experience in Co. Cork, we bring the story of our world-class whiskeys to life. Home to seven iconic brands, our recently revamped visitor centre offers a warm and immersive experience, featuring new bars, a café, and dedicated tasting rooms.
Spanning our historic 15-acre site, visitors can enjoy fully guided tours, premium whiskey tastings, cask-opening experiences, cocktail-making classes, and exclusive behind-the-scenes tours. Each year, we welcome several thousand guests from across the globe, connecting them to our passion for whiskey, deep-rooted history, and renowned production process.
The job
As a German speaking Brand Ambassador, you will play a vital role in bringing our family of brands to life for every guest who walks through our doors.
From the moment visitors arrive, you’ll guide them on a sensory journey where they can touch, taste, smell, and interact with our world-class whiskeys. You’ll be at the forefront of creating unforgettable moments, sharing the rich stories behind our full whiskey portfolio, and inspiring a genuine passion for our products.
Your role goes beyond delivering information – you’ll engage and connect with people from all over the world, building brand love and loyalty in every interaction. Whether you’re leading one of our award-winning distillery tours, hosting a premium tasting experience, or demonstrating the craftsmanship behind our iconic whiskeys, no two days will ever be the same.
You’ll thrive in a buzzing, dynamic environment where teamwork and a customer-first approach are at the heart of everything we do.
At our Brand Homes, health and safety always come first. Our team works to the highest standards, collaborating with various functions to ensure we deliver a world-class experience safely—for our colleagues and our customers.
About you
Our next Brand Ambassadors will have an infectious, outgoing personality, great communication skills, and a natural desire to deliver and exceed visitor expectations. You should be a great storyteller, full of energy, and enjoy working in a consumer-centric role that offers variety and excitement.
We’re looking for hardworking individuals who thrive in a team environment but also know how to have fun along the way! Like us, you should care deeply about our heritage and share our excitement for inspiring passion for the products we are so proud to produce.
Ideally, our next Brand Ambassadors will have experience in a customer-facing role, whether in retail, bars, hotels, or customer care.
