About the Role

Want to work with one of the fastest-growing premium beer brands in the US? Join us at Asahi Beer USA.

Asahi Beer USA is on a mission to become a leading supplier of premium total beverage brands in the U.S. - and we're well on our way. Asahi Super Dry, Twisted Shotz, and Zeitaku Shibori are winning at retail, and we're building the team to keep that momentum going. Backed by the global scale of Asahi Europe & International and the production power of Octopi Brewing in Wisconsin, we're a business that moves fast and plays to win.

We're adding a District Manager to grow our San Diego/Orange County business - someone who is energized by being in market, building relationships, and making brands show up where consumers can find them.

You'll be on the ground driving availability, visibility, and velocity for Asahi Super Dry, Twisted Shotz, and Zeitaku Shibori across retail accounts in your territory - executing specific goals while building strong working relationships with distributor partners who multiply your impact. This role is built for someone with ambition and the drive to grow their scope over time.

This isn't a desk job. We want someone who owns their territory.

What You'll Do
  • Drive availability, visibility, and velocity of Asahi Beer USA brands across retail accounts in San Diego/Orange County
  • Deliver specific execution goals across your territory
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with distributor partners
  • Develop brand presence across on and off-premise accounts
  • Identify and pursue opportunities to grow distribution and in-market execution
  • Represent Asahi Beer USA brands with passion and professionalism in market

Travel

Field-based role. Regular travel within the San Diego/Orange County market will be required, along with limited travel for company meetings.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Base Salary: $74,000 - $95,000 annually (salaried/exempt)
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off & 9 paid holidays
  • 401(k) with company match
  • And more

Requirements

What We're Looking For
  • A demonstrated background in brand and relationship development within a specific geographic territory
  • Experience working with distributor partners in a field sales role
  • Familiarity with on and off-premise retail in the beer, RTD, or beverage alcohol space
  • A self-starter who takes ownership of their territory and results
  • Ambition to grow - this role has room to expand for the right person
  • Someone who'd rather be in market than in a meeting

Skills & Experience That Set You Apart
  • Field sales and territory management
  • Distributor relationship building and collaboration
  • On and off-premise account development
  • Brand availability, visibility, and velocity execution
  • Beer and/or RTD category experience
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
