Islanders – A high impact project for our business and talent
For several years, Diageo Hellas has been successfully running an extended seasonal coverage program through our complementary Sales force (called ‘Islanders’) in major touristic areas across Greece. Basic purpose is to effectively manage and develop selected outlets on designated islands, where the Islander will be temporarily based, in order to deliver the commercial KPIs and brand building objectives expressed in the commercial plan, with the support of their line manager.

The duration of the program is typically around seven months, from mid-March to mid-October.

A permanent contract can be offered upon completion of the project, depending on great performance in the role and available positions at the time.
