QUALITY IS YOUR THING? THIS COULD BE YOUR NEXT MOVE.

We're looking for a Quality Manager to take the lead on quality, food safety and compliance across this fast-paced food business.

This is a role with plenty of scope to lead, influence and make a difference - from raw material quality and finished product inspections through to HACCP, audits, suppliers, data and developing your team.

If you're a confident Quality professional who enjoys being hands-on, solving problems and raising standards, this could be right up your street.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

Food Safety & Compliance

• Investigate out-of-specification products and agree corrective actions
• Monitor trends and identify opportunities to improve consistency
• Train and support operational teams on quality standards and rework

YOU'LL ALSO LEAD THE TEAM

You'll manage, coach and develop the Quality team, setting clear objectives, managing rotas and helping build a culture where quality isn't just a department - it's everyone's responsibility.

You'll also work closely with Production, Procurement and NPD, acting as the technical go-to for gifting quality and food safety.

And when needed, you'll represent the business with customers and external stakeholders.

Experience in a Quality Management role within food
Strong knowledge of HACCP, BRCGS and customer requirements
Experience inspecting raw materials and finished products
Knowledge of food labelling and compliance
Strong analytical and reporting skills
Experience leading and developing a team
A proactive, hands-on approach to problem solving

It's about leading quality, developing people, challenging standards and helping create better products.

If you're trusted, passionate, dynamic and someone who gets things done, we'd love to hear from you.
