Partnership Opportunity:

Part-Time Local Events & Sales Manager with Our Growing Brand in the East Bay! Arbor & Grain makes stylish full-grain leather bags designed for everyday use. We're looking for a personable, self-directed local Events & Sales Manager to represent the brand at farmers markets, wine festivals, arts and crafts shows, rodeos, church events, holiday markets, and other promising local events. This is more than standing behind a table. We want someone who enjoys selling and wants a meaningful voice in building a local market. You'll help identify worthwhile shows, share what customers are asking for, and shape the presentation of your booth within Arbor & Grain's brand guidelines.

Location :

East Bay - Walnut Creek

• Pleasanton
• Livermore
• surrounding communities

Schedule :

Part-time, event-based; primarily weekends

Compensation :

$20 hourly rate + 10% commission or $10 hourly rate + 20% commission. You choose based on your selling comfort. $40 total per day for setup and teardown. Travel expenses are paid by mile up to 20 miles. (You do local events so won't need to drive far.) What you'll do Recommend and evaluate local events, including expected costs, audience, and sales potential. Transport, set up, run, and pack down a welcoming sales booth. Introduce customers to our bags, answer questions, and make sales. Keep track of sales, customer feedback, and event results. Help refine displays and event strategy based on what works. If interested, identify local retail and wholesale opportunities. Broader retail accounts may be explored by agreement. What we're looking for Confidence speaking with customers and a genuine interest in selling. Sound judgment, reliability, and the ability to work independently. A car, valid driver's license, a driving record that meets applicable insurance requirements, and current auto insurance. Ability to safely transport and set up basic booth equipment—including one or two folding tables, tabletop décor, and, when used, a 10×10 canopy—with or without reasonable accommodation. Availability for events that may include weekends and seasonal holidays. Experience in events, retail, markets, or wholesale sales is welcome, but we're especially interested in people who can connect with customers and take ownership of results.

What makes this opportunity different:

You'll have input into which events we pursue, room to make your booth inviting and effective, and a chance to help develop your local market. Any wholesale responsibilities or territory arrangements would be discussed and agreed separately.

To apply:

Send a brief introduction about you, relevant sales or event experience, your location, and, as a bonus, an example of an event in your area that you think would be a good fit for Arbor & Grain. We will be at the Walnut Creek Oktoberfest this weekend at Civic Park East if you are interested.
