Quality Compliance Manager

What You'll Do

This is the role that turns "we make good products" into a system you can prove, audit, and stand behind. As Quality Compliance Manager, you'll report to the Director of Quality and own JuneShine Brands' internal Quality Compliance program: audits, corrective actions, supplier quality, and food safety guidance. You'll put the Director's quality standards into practice for every product in scaled production and be the go-to expert on quality compliance across the business. As we add more products, partners, and categories, this role grows with us.
