This individual will directly manage QA Technicians across both shifts, own FSQA processes and procedures from the ground up, and serve as the primary point of accountability for food safety compliance, regulatory adherence, and quality program integrity. The ideal candidate is ultra detail-oriented, thrives in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment, and brings a proven track record in quality management with demonstrated experience under USDA, FDA, and SQF frameworks.

Serve as the point of contact for all food safety and quality matters during the coverage window, escalating to senior leadership as appropriate.

Own and manage the Approved Supplier and Ingredient Program, including qualification, documentation, ongoing verification, and maintenance of supplier records.

Maintain and manage FSQA databases, registers, and recordkeeping systems to ensure accuracy, completeness, and audit readiness at all times.

Lead non-conformance identification, root cause analysis, and corrective and preventative action implementation.

Drive audit preparation and serve as a participant in internal, third-party, and regulatory audits including SQF.

Verification & Monitoring

Oversee and conduct CCP and CP verification activities per HACCP and HARPC plans.

Ensure pre-operational inspections, scale verifications, and sanitation checks are completed and documented across both shifts.

Oversee GMP inspections throughout production and take immediate corrective action when deviations are identified.

Direct ATP swabbing, environmental monitoring programs, and cooler/freezer temperature verification.

Oversee thermometer calibration, weight verification, and allergen control programs.

Manage glass & brittle plastic, pest control, and facility audit monitoring programs.

Oversee retain sample program and ensure proper chain of custody and documentation.

Verify sanitation effectiveness and drive accountability with the Sanitation team.
