Packaging Process and Quality Lead, Brewery

Ready to lead high-speed beverage packaging with purpose?

Imagine guiding a capable team through a complex packaging run—anticipating issues before they become downtime, coaching operators through a tricky setup, and verifying that every quality checkpoint is nailed per SOPs. That’s the challenge—and reward—of this role at Mark Anthony Group, the company behind White Claw® Hard Seltzer, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and Cayman Jack. Founded in 1972, we’ve scaled from a one-person wine importer to an international beverage leader by questioning convention and moving fast.

• Closing the loop: audit documentation for inventory, sanitation, batch/blending, quality, and basic maintenance sign-offs.
• Protecting uptime: drive operator-maintenance programs, including checks and lubrication.
