You will hear us refer to each other as a “Primo” which means cousin in Spanish, and it´s our way to referring to employees. It´s also a reminder that we are a family-owned business with Latin heritage since 1862.
Primos are empowered to embrace diversity of thought and a global mindset to grow the Bacardi business and be future fit.

Our Regional headquarters are Amsterdam for Europe & Latin America & the Caribbean; Dubai for Asia, Middle East & Africa and Coral Gables for North America. For Global Marketing, our teams are based in London, UK. In addition, we have offices, distilleries, production sites and brand homes around the world.
Our portfolio boasts more than 200 brands and labels and we sell in more than 160 markets. That global scale offers opportunities across functions and markets. From those who craft and produce our brands to those who market and sell them to everything in between.We also have opportunities across levels of experience from those who are starting their professional career (and are of local legal drinking age) to those who have decades of experience under their belt.
From time to time, we contract talent for specific functions and markets on a paid internship basis. We do not run a recurring global internship and rather allow markets and team to determine local needs and opportunities.
We are there for the moments that matter in our Primos’ careers - the times they need to step outside of their comfort zone and grow. Whether that’s when they step through our doors as a new Primo, take on a new role, want to learn new skills and develop, or take that opportunity of a lifetime abroad to gain experiences across different cultures, functions, and markets.

The simple answer is no candidates do not need to drink alcohol to be considered for a role. The Bacardi portfolio of products includes alcohol, low alcohol and no alcohol products.

What we value most is high performing talent with an ability to understand how to engage with our brand consumers and business partners.
We do, of course, only hire people who are of legal drinking age in their market.
