Jägermeister is more than a legendary liqueur; it’s a brand fueled by culture, creativity, and a deep commitment to doing things differently. From late-night music moments to bold collaborations with artists and makers, Jägermeister isn’t just behind the bar; it’s behind the scenes, helping keep nightlife thriving. And that energy translates into the workplace, too, where passion and personality are always welcome.
That kind of inclusive workplace culture is fueled by people who aren't afraid to be authentic—like Lindsay Walther, Senior Finance Analyst, who helps to manage the company’s finances.
“To be successful at Jägermeister, you need to be bold and authentic,” Lindsay told The Muse. “Being yourself is highly encouraged at Jäegermeister, and I think it plays a huge role in being successful at our company. I have been encouraged to work the way that works best for me, and it has helped me grow within my role.”
Lindsay is a leader in the male-dominated field of finance, within the male-dominated beverage industry, where developing confidence in herself and her abilities has been key to her success.
“One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced as a woman in finance is being overlooked in a male-dominated industry,” she explained. “Rather than letting that define my experience, I’ve chosen to embrace my perspective and advocate for visibility. I actively support and mentor aspiring women in finance within my community and at my alma mater, because I believe collective support is essential to long-term success.”
She chooses to be unapologetically, authentically herself and is especially intentional about sharing her ideas and strengthening her confidence.
Her reminder to women in traditionally male-dominated fields is “you have and deserve a seat at every table.” Her advice? “Build confidence in yourself and your abilities … Speak up, trust your instincts, and make sure your voice is heard—your perspective matters.”
Lindsay makes sure her voice is heard across multiple departments. She works closely with a variety of teams to help manage their DMC and T&E spends. She meets with teams monthly to review their reports, identify risks and opportunities, and collaborate on EOY forecasting.
“It’s an exciting time to work at Jägermeister because the brand is experiencing strong growth and momentum,” she told The Muse. “The team is continuously improving processes and evolving how we work, creating real opportunities to innovate, make an impact, and help shape the future of the company.”
Here, we caught up with Lindsay to hear about her career journey—and how others can learn from her successes along their own career paths.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your career journey that led you to a position at Jäegermeister. What made you choose Jäegermeister?
I have always loved numbers and math, so I knew that I wanted my career to involve numbers somehow. Growing up, I helped my father manage some finances for his painting company. I helped with payroll, reconciling credit card charges, and creating and sending invoices to customers. Through helping with his company, I decided to major in both Finance and Economics.
I started my career at NBCUniversal as a Travel and Expense analyst. I managed the company’s Concur system and its implementation in different countries. I also managed reporting across business units.
After two and a half years at NBCUniversal, I decided to look for a new role that was more corporate finance-focused. I found the role at Jägermiester through LinkedIn and was drawn to the culture and people. Everyone I interviewed during my interview process was extremely genuine and authentic. They also spoke so highly of the company, its values, and their colleagues.
Getting to speak to three women who were extremely successful in their careers during my interview process also made me more excited for the role and for the opportunity to have support from women in the workplace.
Tell us about a project that inspired you or had a big impact on how you approach your role.
The finance and operations team is currently working on Project Backbone, which is the process of moving to our new ERP system. This has taken a lot of hard work and dedication from the team, but it also comes with a lot of change and new ways of working. I am excited to go into 2026 and see how our day-to-day work has changed and what processes we can improve through the new system.
What previous skills and experience were you most surprised ended up applying to your work at Jäegermeister?
Being able to communicate cross-functionally is a skill that ended up applying to my work at Jägermeister.
At my last company, I was in constant communication with all kinds of people. From camera operators to TV hosts to the VPs of departments, I helped so many different types of people with their T&E needs. I got to see what was going on across all different departments across the company and around the world.
When I got to Jägermeister, I didn’t think I would be working so closely with other departments. Luckily, I was wrong about that. Through managing our Concur expense platform and helping manage our T&E and DMC budgets, I get to touch base with almost everyone at our company. I am constantly asked questions about how certain expenses should be coded, which gives me insight into how we execute our business and grow our brand through different channels.
I love working cross-functionally at Jägermeister. Our company is filled with such incredible people, and being able to check in and understand what everyone is doing to help grow our brand is such a rewarding experience within my role.
What does it take to succeed and grow your career when you are underrepresented in an industry?
Growing up and in the first few years of my career, I was not one to speak up or raise my hand. I preferred to sit and listen. I would only speak when I was fully confident in my answers. But in my career at MJUS, I have been encouraged to speak up and be confident and proud in the work that I do.
I think having the support of the other successful women in my department has helped me feel represented in an underrepresented industry. It has been truly inspirational and makes me want to work so much harder to pave the way for women who will follow in my footsteps in the future.
By being more confident in myself and my work, I have been able to implement process changes and ways of working to help streamline how we work between departments.
What advice do you have for candidates on a similar path looking to get hired at Jäegermeister?
My advice to any candidates who are on a similar career path, looking to get hired at Jäegermeister, is to be authentic. Our brand values, after all, are “bold,” “authentic,” “social,” and “masterful.”
