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 — 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. This is a high-accountability, largely independent role for a self-starter who thrives building distributor relationships and owning results — from execution on the ground to full P&L outcomes for the Division.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

• Real P&L ownership over a multi-state Division — not just a sales quota, the whole business outcome
• 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

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

• 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
• Strong analytical skills, including experience with Nielsen and VIP
• Effective communicator and presenter, proficient in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Able to travel 25–50% within the Division, with limited travel for company meetings

Nice-to-haves:

• 3+ years of consumer goods sales experience to retail or chain accounts, ideally within the beer industry
• A genuine passion for premium imported beer

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%
• Short-term Incentive Bonus
• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here
• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)

PAY

• Pay: $135,000–$155,000 annually
