• 70,000/year DOE + Quarterly Bonus About Us The Hemp Collect / Modern Herb Co is a fast-growing hemp-derived product manufacturer producing inhalables, edibles, and topicals across multiple brands.

We are consolidating operations to our North Carolina facility and building the team that will run it. This is a ground-floor opportunity to own QC for a scaling operation. The Role You own quality control — period. From the moment raw materials hit our dock to the moment finished product ships, you are the sign-off authority. You'll build and enforce QC systems across intake, production, packaging, and fulfillment while coordinating with our inventory team on intake support and our lab team on in-process checkpoints. This is a combined QC + intake oversight role. Our inventory specialists handle the physical receiving and staging. You own the standards, testing, sign-off, and reject authority.

What You'll Do Sampling, Testing & Release Control:

• Develop and execute sampling plans for raw materials, in-process batches, and finished goods
• Review, approve, or reject materials based on internal specs and Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
• Own product quarantine, hold, rejection, and release authorization

Production & Packaging QC:

• Ensure QC procedures are embedded at every stage of production and packaging
• Conduct in-process QC checks to verify SOP adherence and spec compliance
• Maintain batch integrity documentation

Fulfillment & Shipping QC:

• Oversee final QC checks before shipment
• Verify labeling, lot accuracy, packaging integrity, and release authorization

Inventory & Traceability:

• Maintain lot-level traceability from intake through shipment
• Conduct random weekly QC audits comparing physical inventory to system records
• Coordinate weekly extract inventory cycle counts with the inventory team
• Investigate discrepancies and drive resolution

SOPs & Compliance:
