Build the Quality System

● Convert a primarily paper-based quality program into a repeatable, audit-ready operating system, including document control, internal audit cadence, training records, CAPA tracking, and traceability/mock recall processes, beginning with practical tools and scaling as the business grows.

● Own and maintain the site Food Safety & Quality Management System (HACCP, GMPs, SOPs, prerequisite programs), ensuring audit readiness year-round.

● Lead third-party and customer audits/inspections (e.g., IFS/SQF-type programs), including internal audits, mock recalls, corrective actions, and documentation control.
