We're seeking a strategic, hands-on Quality Manager with extrusion manufacturing expertise to lead our quality systems and elevate performance across our production operations.
Company: Worldwide Foam
FLSA Classification: Exempt (Salary)
Location: Elkhart, IN
This position is responsible for ensuring that all products meet consistent quality standards while aligning ISO requirements, customer expectations, and internal performance objectives. The ideal candidate thrives both on the production floor and in the data-analyzing trends, strengthening process control, and leading continuous improvement initiatives that deliver sustainable results.
What You'll Lead
The Quality Manager partners closely with Operations to ensure extrusion lines consistently produce in-spec product while minimizing variation and scrap. You will monitor quality objectives, generate meaningful performance metrics, and report results to leadership with clear analysis and recommendations.
You will lead root cause investigations and corrective action processes, manage nonconformities, and implement preventive strategies that reduce repeat issues. This role oversees inspection methods, testing protocols, and product validation-both internally and through external testing facilities.
You will also maintain and improve our ISO-based quality management system by conducting internal audits, supporting external audits, and ensuring policies and procedures remain effective, current, and actionable. A key responsibility of this role is reinforcing a culture of accountability and continuous improvement across the organization.
In addition, you will supervise and develop Quality Technicians, manage time and attendance for direct reports, and collaborate with department managers and HR to build and maintain a strong training curriculum focused on quality standards and compliance.
What We're Looking For
We are seeking a professional with strong analytical capability, experience in statistical methods and root cause investigation, and a deep understanding of quality control in a manufacturing setting. Experience within extrusion manufacturing-particularly foam or other continuous processes-is strongly preferred.
A high school diploma or GED is required. A college degree or at least two years of quality assurance experience in manufacturing is preferred. Strong computer literacy, including data analysis and reporting tools, is essential.
