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
