experience may be considered.

Progressive food safety and quality leadership experience in a regulated food manufacturing or processing

environment.

Strong working knowledge of USDA/FSIS and/or FDA requirements, HACCP, Preventive Controls, GMPs, SSOPs,

sanitation, allergens, environmental monitoring, and quality systems.

Experience leading audits, regulatory interactions, customer requirements, investigations, CAPA, and continuous

improvement initiatives.

Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional leaders, communicate risk effectively, and translate technical

requirements into practical operating expectations.

Strong digital capability, including Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams, KPI reporting,

dashboards, and quality system tools.

Ability to travel up to 30-50% to assigned sites, or as business needs require.
