Job Description

ASAHI BEER USA | OCTOPI BREWING

PACKAGING LINE MANAGER

Where Leadership Meets the Packaging Floor

Full-Time

ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our Packaging team keeps every can, bottle, and case moving efficiently and safely around the clock — and the Packaging Line Manager owns that operation, reporting directly to the Director of Packaging.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a Packaging Line Manager to lead a 24-hour packaging operation — owning safety, quality, efficiency, and team development across all shifts, and working cross-functionally with Brewing, Lab, Maintenance, and Warehouse to keep everything running smoothly.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

• Real ownership over a 24-hour operation — not just one shift, the whole picture

• High cross-functional visibility, working directly with Brewing, Lab, Maintenance, Warehouse, and QA

• Room to drive real change — root cause analysis, process optimization, and training systems you help build

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead and develop a 24-hour packaging team, coaching, training, and holding the team accountable to safety, quality, and efficiency goals

• Plan and oversee daily packaging operations, keeping production aligned with schedules and specs

• Diagnose equipment issues and coordinate maintenance to keep lines running reliably

• Own root cause analysis and data-driven process improvement across packaging lines

• Build and maintain training systems, SOPs, and competency tracking across all roles and shifts

• Ensure GMP, GDP, OSHA, and safety compliance through regular inspections and audits

• Partner with QA on product specs and quality, and represent Packaging in cross-departmental planning

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

• Comprehensive understanding of machine operation, troubleshooting, and safety in a manufacturing environment

• At least 2 years of experience in a managerial role within manufacturing operations

• Exceptional leadership, decision-making, and communication skills

• Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and the ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment

• Able to lift 55 lbs and move 165 lbs as needed

Nice-to-haves:

• Bachelor's degree (Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred), or equivalent experience

• Experience in the food and beverage manufacturing sector

• Working knowledge of OSHA regulations and Lean Manufacturing principles

BENEFITS & PERKS

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage — effective the 1st of the month after 30 days

• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance

• 401(k) with company match — 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2%

• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here

• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)

• A free beer after shift, because you earned it

PAY

• Pay: $80,000–$90,000 annually

Full-time, exempt

Compensation details: 80000-90000 Yearly Salary
