Your Impact:
Are you a bold, creative thinker who thrives at the edge of disruption? At Asahi Beverages, we’re on the lookout for two experienced Innovation Managers — one to drive innovation across our Beer portfolio and another to champion growth through innovation across our Non-Alcohol portfolio.
You’ll be at the heart of a business committed to pushing boundaries on brands like Carlton, VB & Schweppes - whether that’s launching the next big thing in beer or reimagining the non-alcohol category. This is your chance to help create the future of beverages in Australia.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead end-to-end delivery of innovation projects across owned and partner brands — ideation, development, commercialisation, and post-launch review.
- Own a category-specific pipeline (Alcohol or Non-Alcohol), aligned to our long-term portfolio strategy and bold growth ambitions.
- Collaborate across Marketing, Insights, Sales, Supply Chain, Finance and external partners to bring disruptive products to life.
- Inspire and lead cross-functional project teams, managing resources, timelines, and gate process governance.
- Evaluate performance and continuously improve how we innovate — from concept to consumer.
About You:
- 5+ years of experience in Innovation, Brand Management, or Commercial roles in FMCG.
- Strong commercial and analytical skills with a deep understanding of consumers and category strategy.
- Proven project leadership in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
- A blend of creative thinking and process discipline — you know when to colour outside the lines and when to keep things moving.
- Passion for bold ideas, with the confidence to lead change and influence stakeholders at every level.
If you’re energised by possibility, love turning ideas into impact, and want to shape what’s next in beverage — we’d love to hear from you.
