Key Responsibilities
Translate shopper needs (taste, diet/allergens, occasion, budget) into well-justified recommendations with links, prices, pros/cons, and “who this is for.”
Compare across price tiers and retailers; flag value picks and premium standouts and note availability/shipability.
Consider dietary and authenticity cues (e.g., vegan/halal/kosher, gluten-free/allergens, PDO/PGI/DOP, regional styles) and suggest smart substitutions.
Create buyer’s guides (weekday wine under $20, beginner espresso setup, cheeses for a picnic, gifts for home cooks).
Review and refine AI-suggested picks; correct gaps and add missing context.
Source from reputable retailers; avoid counterfeit/grey-market.

Ideal Qualifications
Hands-on, buyer-facing background: specialty grocery, cheese/charcuterie counter, wine/spirits retail, coffee/tea, category merchandising, or credible editorial/reviewer experience.
Serious enthusiasts with track records are also welcome (e.g., wine / chocolate / cheese expert).
Ability to follow technical instructions with stellar written communication skills.
Practical judgment on diet/allergens, storage/shipping of perishables, and basic label literacy.
Nice to have: sommelier/cicerone/barista certifications; menu or pairing experience.
