Are you looking for a great experience in a fast-paced and innovative wine company? In a nutshell, we’re all about making the world of wine a better place. We fund and source directly from independent winemakers to bring our customers (we call them Angels) better quality wine for a better price. No thirsty middlemen as far as the eye can see. Our global team (we have offices in the US and Australia, too) is entrepreneurial by nature, obsessive about customer experience and driven by performance. All things that make Naked a great place to grow both personally and professionally. And yes, we like wine. A lot. We’re looking for talented, enthusiastic and focused people to join our Customer Happiness Team to work directly with our customers.

Then here’s the part where we (and some of our team) tell you why you’ll love working with us. We’re on a mission to change the wine industry for the better. That means everything from giving our Angels direct access to the world’s best independent winemakers, to supporting charitable projects like ‘Carmen’s kids’ - a soup kitchen for school children in South Africa run by Carmen Stevens, one of our winemakers. It also means that we want our entire team, whatever their role, to have the best experience and become the best they can be. We’ll challenge you, but we’ll develop you, too. “We value people and want to give our customers the best experience possible, and that reflects so strongly in how everyone in this team supports each other and how much of ourselves we put into what we do - the Customer Happiness Team is a collection of some of the most fun, wonderful people I've ever met and I'm lucky enough to call them my coworkers and close friends.” Alice, Customer Happiness Advisor since 2022 "I love being able to put a smile on our customer's face and provide reassurance wherever I can, whether this is putting things right for a customer or just having a lovely chat when placing an order."
