About Us

Born in the field, with man's best friend at our side, and built for adventure, Ugly Dog Distillery is a small-town American spirits company rooted in craftsmanship, creativity, and the belief that the best things are meant to be shared.

What started on a dare, quickly morphed into passion for making great spirits, has grown into a full-scale distillery that showcases our own portfolio nationally and in our Chelsea, MI tasting room while partnering with other brands to bring their ideas to life through distillation, bottling and go-to-market infrastructure.

With over 18 years of experience producing premium, award-winning products, we are building a team to support the commercialization of our growing portfolio.

This is a rare opportunity to join a brand at launch and gain hands-on experience across sales, marketing, compliance, and operations.

The Role

We’re seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Sales & Operations Administrator to support our commercial team across sales, marketing, compliance, and customer operations.

This role sits at the center of the business—supporting distributor relationships, the administration of the three-tier system, and supporting day-to-day tasks across our commercial strategy.

Our customer base is multifaceted, spanning distributors, consumers, and co-packing clients, which means this role requires someone who can adapt across different types of relationships, priorities, and workflows. If you’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants exposure to how a beverage alcohol business truly operates, this is an ideal entry point with significant growth potential.
