About Whiskey Cask Group
Whiskey Cask Group is a specialist Scotch whisky business focused on developing exclusive whisky products and bespoke bottling programmes for private clients, corporate customers and international brands.
Our services include private-label Scotch whisky, limited-edition bottlings, corporate gifting, exclusive cask projects and premium whisky collections.
We work with established industry partners to manage everything from whisky sourcing and product development to bottling, packaging and international delivery.
As we continue to expand, we are looking for an experienced whisky industry professional to help manage our commercial activities, develop new business opportunities and oversee the successful delivery of client projects.
We are seeking an experienced General Manager - Scotch Whisky Projects & Business Development to play a key role in growing Whiskey Cask Group.
This is a varied, hands-on position combining business development, project management, supplier relationships and general business operations.
We are particularly interested in candidates who already have extensive experience within the Scotch whisky industry and an established network of contacts across distilleries, independent bottlers, cask suppliers and specialist production partners.
The successful candidate will be comfortable managing the complete lifecycle of a whisky project, from identifying a commercial opportunity and developing a proposal through to coordinating production and final delivery.
This is not a traditional sales role. We are looking for someone with genuine whisky industry knowledge who can combine commercial thinking with practical project delivery and operational management.
Direct experience within the Scotch whisky industry is essential for this position.
We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate:
Additional experience in the following areas would be advantageous:
This role offers flexibility, including the opportunity to work remotely from Dubai, UAE, or the United Kingdom.
We are open to discussing remote, hybrid or consultancy arrangements with the right candidate.
The position will require regular communication with our international clients and industry partners, with occasional travel to suppliers, bottling facilities and client meetings where necessary.
Our priority is finding the right person with the industry experience, commercial capabilities and professional network to help develop the business.
You may currently be working for an independent bottler, whisky merchant, cask company, distillery or specialist spirits business.
Perhaps you have spent years developing relationships within the whisky industry and are now looking for an opportunity to use that experience in a more entrepreneurial environment.
We are looking for someone who understands the industry, knows the right people and can confidently take a whisky project from initial discussion to finished product.
Someone who can develop business, manage suppliers, coordinate projects and help us build a successful international whisky company.
Industry knowledge, established relationships and practical experience are far more important to us than formal qualifications.
