About ACORVINA

ACORVINA & Company imports and distributes boutique wines and distinctive spirits from around the world. We are a small, energetic team where every day brings something different.

One moment you may be organizing office projects, and the next you may be preparing products for an event, helping with warehouse organization, or learning about a new wine from one of our producers.

This is not a routine desk job. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, movement, problem-solving, learning, and jumping in wherever help is needed.

Position Overview

We are looking for a highly organized, dependable, and energetic Office & Operations Administrator to support our growing business.

This is a catch-all administrative and operations support role. The ideal person can multitask physically, mentally, and linguistically while staying positive, professional, and focused in a fast-paced environment.

While our preferred working schedule is Tuesday through Friday during normal business hours, work assignments and availability will be coordinated based on business needs, seasonal demand, and mutual agreement.
