Senior Marketing Director Bonterra Organic Estates

Napavalleywineacademy, California, Missouri, United States, 65018


We’re offering a career-defining opportunity for our next Senior Director of Marketing to take our already successful Bonterra (named the 2016 Wine Enthusiast American Winery of the Year) wine portfolio and elevate its brand heart to the next level. We need a true brand builder and visionary to put Bonterra shoulder to shoulder with that elite club of brands-regardless of category-that are synonymous with doing good in the world. And if that weren’t enough of a challenge, we’re offering you a pipeline of highly visible projects to manage from innovation to launch.

To put it simply, the name Bonterra, which literally translates to "good earth", requires marketing more than what is in the bottle. It involves marketing our ever-advancing story to improve all we touch. While every label, case, social media post and POS item play a role in that, it’s really about marketing the things people don’t see—our actions and commitments behind our impact mission.

Because of this, it’s important that you be eager to frequent our Bonterra estate ranches and winemaking operation in Hopland, CA and satellite office in downtown Healdsburg, to best elevate your key spokesperson game and inspire others with our belief in the earth, people and planet and how we can make an impact.
