Build strong relationships across the plant and serve as a trusted leader and resource for food safety and quality. Develop team members through coaching, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Requirements:

5-7+ years of management experience within food manufacturing. Bachelor's degree required; ideally in Food Science, Microbiology, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline. Strong background in food safety and HACCP. Prior quality management experience; familiarity with systems such as SAP is preferred. Significant food manufacturing experience is highly important. Proven ability to lead, develop, and hold teams accountable in a manufacturing environment. Strong change-management and influencing skills, with the ability to drive food safety ownership across Operations, Maintenance, and the broader plant. Experience developing and executing strategies rather than simply managing compliance. A proactive, hands-on leader who can influence the floor, build relationships, and create lasting improvements in food safety culture.

Compensation:

$140,000 base salary + eligibility to earn a 15% bonus

Benefits:

Benefits available Day 1, including a 6% 401(k) match. Relocation assistance is available depending on the candidate. Medical, dental, and vision insurance available.
