Quality Compliance Specialist

Why is no company listed?

You would be taking my old job. I am not a recruiter and do not wish to "represent" the company. I will provide more information when you contact me. I am trying to help the company find a replacement quickly. I will also be able to provide a solid recommendation for you once you've convinced me that you are a good fit for the position. If you are available before January 3rd, you will have the opportunity to receive some training from me before I go.

Job Description

You'll be working for a liquids manufacturing company in an office with the option to occasionally work from home. You will maintain digital records (and maybe some paper ones) at a time when the company is moving to better software. This may give you the opportunity to help implement a better document control system. You will handle the quality and regulatory aspects of food, supplements, and cosmetics. Prior industry experience is not required. Collaboration with cross-functional teams and a focus on continuous improvement will be critical aspects of this role. You will occasionally need to participate in third party audits and present the company in the best light.
