ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA

Asahi USA is building a portfolio of premium beverage brands in the U.S., led by our flagship, Asahi Super Dry. As part of Asahi Europe & International — a global beverage company with 19 production facilities across 8 countries and over 11,000 colleagues worldwide — we're bringing a challenger mindset to how we grow in this market, backed by the scale and resources of an established global brewer.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Division Director drives sales volume, distributor development, and key account growth across a multi-state Division.

• Direct, high-trust partnership with distributor leadership across ownership, commercial, marketing, operations, and finance

• A seat at the table as Asahi Super Dry continues its growth story in the U.S. market

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and execute sales programs with distributor teams to close distribution gaps and grow availability, velocity, and volume

• Run at least 2 distributor work-withs monthly with field sales reps, key account managers, and leadership

• Own execution and financial outcomes for your Division, including P&L targets, budgets, and KPI delivery

• Compose and deliver periodic Business Reviews and Annual Business Plans directly to distributor partners

• Lead and develop your Division team — including monthly sell/skill-development days and bi-weekly check-ins with direct reports

• 10+ years of sales experience, including managing distributors, key accounts, and people

• University/college degree, valid driver's license and safe driving record, 21+ years of age

• A genuine passion for premium imported beer
