What is a cellar manager?

Cellar managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the operations and management of a wine cellar or beverage storage facility. Their duties typically include monitoring inventory, ensuring proper storage conditions, supervising staff, and coordinating with winemakers or suppliers. They play a crucial role in maintaining the quality and organization of the cellar, and may also assist with tastings, events, or shipments. Effective cellar managers have strong organizational skills and a deep understanding of wine or beverage storage requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a cellar manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Cellar Manager, you need expertise in wine storage, inventory management, and a solid understanding of wine varieties, often supported by experience in viticulture or hospitality. Familiarity with cellar management software, temperature and humidity control systems, and compliance with health and safety regulations is typically required. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are vital soft skills for coordinating staff and maintaining wine quality. These competencies are crucial to ensure optimal wine preservation, efficient operations, and customer satisfaction in wine-focused environments.

What are some common challenges faced by a cellar manager and how can they be overcome?

Cellar Managers often face challenges such as maintaining optimal storage conditions, ensuring inventory accuracy, and coordinating with various teams during busy production periods. Staying organized and leveraging inventory management software can help keep track of stock and minimize errors. Additionally, clear communication with winemakers, logistics, and maintenance teams ensures smooth workflow and quick resolution of any equipment or supply issues. Proactively scheduling maintenance and training staff on safety protocols also contributes to efficient cellar operations.

What is the difference between Cellar Manager vs Winemaker?

AspectCellar ManagerWinemaker
CredentialsExperience in cellar operations, certifications in wine handling or cellar managementWinemaking degree or related certifications, wine production experience
Work EnvironmentCellar or winery production facility, overseeing storage and fermentation processesWinery, laboratory, and vineyard collaboration, involved in blending and aging
Industry UsageCommonly employed in wineries to manage cellar operationsPrimarily involved in wine production, blending, and quality control

The main difference is that a Cellar Manager focuses on overseeing the cellar operations, storage, and fermentation processes, ensuring smooth production flow. A Winemaker, on the other hand, is responsible for the overall wine production, including blending, aging, and final product quality. Both roles require industry-specific knowledge and certifications, but their daily responsibilities and focus areas differ within the wine industry.

Job description

Description:

ASAHI BEER USA | OCTOPI BREWING


CELLAR SUPERVISOR

Where Leadership Meets the Cellar 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. As Cellar Supervisor, you'll be the accountable leader for your shift — keeping production, communication, and your team on track, and reporting directly to the Cellar Manager.


THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a Cellar Supervisor to serve as the go-to leader for their shift — making real-time production decisions, keeping communication flowing between Cellar, Batching, Brewhouse, and Packaging, and making sure the team has what they need to hit their goals.


WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

• Real decision-making authority — you're the accountable party for your shift, not just a task manager

• A direct line to the Cellar Manager, with real influence over staffing, scheduling, and process improvement

• A high-visibility role connecting Cellar, Batching, Brewhouse, and Packaging every single shift


WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Serve as the accountable leader for your shift — making production decisions and keeping scheduled work on track

• Act as the primary communicator between your shift and the Cellar Manager, Packaging, and the Brewhouse operator

• Check in regularly with your team, provide feedback, and help resolve concerns as they come up

• Recommend staffing and schedule changes based on your read of the process and workflow

• Ensure documentation, sanitation, and safety standards are completed and handed off cleanly to the next shift

• Delegate work across the shift, including the batching team and other brewing support as needed


WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

• Comfortable standing for extended periods and lifting 55 lbs / moving 165 lbs as needed

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and time management

• Basic troubleshooting skills in a brewing or manufacturing setting

• Flexibility to work various shifts and prioritize shifting tasks

Nice-to-haves:

• 2–3 years of experience in a brewing environment

• Degree in Brewing Science/Technology


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) eligible after 3 months, 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


CURRENTLY HIRING FOR

• 1st Shift — Opening Available

• 3rd Shift — Opening Available (+ shift premium)

PAY BY SHIFT

Pay starts at $28.00/hr, using the same shift differential structure as our Brewer roles. Shifts outside of 1st shift include an additional shift differential on top of that base — never a lower starting rate, just added pay for the shift.

• 1st Shift — $28.00/hr (base rate)

• 2nd Shift — $28.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $31.00/hr

• 3rd Shift — $28.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $32.00/hr

• Weekend Day — $28.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $33.75/hr

• Weekend Night — $28.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $35.75/hr

Full-time, non-exempt
