  • Partner with regulatory authorities on compliance, product withdrawals, and recall management
  • Collaborate with Legal, Investor Relations, and Commercial teams to provide technical insight and support due diligence activities
  • Build, lead, and develop high-performing teams, fostering a collaborative and accountable culture
  • Represent the business externally as a technical expert
  • Drive innovation and continuous improvement across products, processes, and technologies
  • Develop strong relationships with key customers and stakeholders


About You

  • Bachelor’s degree required (Master’s preferred) in Food Science, Microbiology, Chemistry, Biology, or a related discipline
  • Minimum 10+ years’ experience in Quality Assurance and Food Safety, including senior leadership roles
  • In-depth knowledge of food safety regulations and global compliance requirements
  • Proven experience managing product recalls, crisis situations, and risk assessment
  • Strong leadership and influencing skills, with the ability to engage at executive level
  • Commercially aware with experience supporting customer and supplier negotiations
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, including root cause analysis
  • Demonstrated ability to build and lead high-performing, cross-functional teams
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience with regulatory bodies
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, complex environment


Why This Role?
