Not every QA Manager role offers the chance to genuinely make an impact. This one does.

This is a business that has already been through a significant period of change and is now moving forward with clear direction. With new customers secured, their own brand launched, and a refreshed senior leadership team in place, the focus is firmly on building for the future.

Reporting into the Technical Manager, you’ll be joining someone who is known for being forward-thinking, collaborative, and passionate about developing strong teams. This is someone we know, have worked with before and have had brilliant feedback for.

This role is positioned as a true number two within the technical function, offering both responsibility and the opportunity to influence how things are done moving forward.

What you’ll be doing:

Supporting and developing a small QA team (currently two people)
Helping to embed and improve quality systems and processes across site
Ensuring compliance with food safety, quality, and regulatory standards
Working closely with the Technical Manager to drive continuous improvement initiatives
This isn’t about maintaining the status quo. It’s about building on recent progress and helping shape a quality function that supports the business as it continues to grow.

What they’re looking for:

Experience as a QA Manager or Senior QA Supervisor in food manufacturing
A strong understanding of food safety and quality systems
Someone proactive, collaborative, and comfortable working in a changing environment
