Leaders have the opportunity to influence large-scale operations, develop high-performing teams, and build meaningful careers in an organization committed to operational excellence, innovation, sustainability, and people development.

If you are looking for a role that will prepare you to run your own plant — not simply manage a department — this opportunity was built for you.


Are you passionate about quality, food safety, and continuous improvement? We're looking for a Quality Assurance Manager to lead quality systems and food safety programs in our manufacturing facility while partnering with operations, suppliers, and customers to drive excellence.


What You'll Do

  • Lead plant quality assurance and food safety programs.
  • Manage audits, customer quality concerns, investigations, and corrective actions.
  • Analyze quality data and implement continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Partner with production and cross-functional teams to improve processes and product quality.
  • Oversee supplier quality issues, claims management, mock recalls, and compliance activities.
  • Champion a strong culture of safety, quality, and employee engagement.


What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree preferred.
  • 4 years of quality experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience with GMP, HACCP, SQF, ISO, FSSC, or related quality systems preferred.
  • Strong leadership, problem-solving, communication, and analytical skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.


Compensation & Benefits:

  • Expected Hiring Salary Range: $98,900 - $141,330 (Salary to be determined by the applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.)
  • This role will be eligible to participate in the annual incentive compensation plan.

  • Onsite Work Environment: This requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site. Travel and local commute between Ball locations and other possible non-Ball locations may be required.
  • Relocation assistance may be available.
