Our client, a respected vertically integrated global food manufacturer
is seeking a transformational executive to help lead and elevate Food Safety & Quality Assurance across a complex international manufacturing network.
This is not a “sit in corporate and review dashboards” type of role.
This is a hands‑on, highly visible leadership opportunity for someone who thrives in complex manufacturing environments, understands how to influence across cultures, and wants to help shape food safety strategy on a truly global scale.
The organization operates across North America, Europe, and Asia with a diverse manufacturing footprint that includes both primary processing and further processed protein operations.
We’re looking for a leader who:
- Understands both the science AND the business of food safety
- Has strong experience within meat manufacturing environments (international manufacturing exposure is highly preferred)
- Can influence across multiple countries, cultures, and operational teams
- Is comfortable leading through a matrix organization without relying on large direct‑report structures
- Knows how to balance technical credibility with relationship‑building and strategic leadership
- Can drive global standards while respecting regional differences and operational realities
- Enjoys rolling up their sleeves and helping teams solve real‑world problems
This role offers:
- Significant global exposure across multiple continents
- Direct visibility to executive leadership
- Opportunity to shape and influence global FSQA strategy
- A highly collaborative and entrepreneurial environment
- Broad operational complexity spanning slaughter, further processing, supplier programs, sanitation, audits, and policy development
- International travel and cross‑functional leadership opportunities
- The chance to make a meaningful impact on a globally recognized food manufacturing platform
Ideal candidates may come from:
- Protein manufacturing
- Global food manufacturing organizations
- Multi‑site FSQA leadership roles
- Operations‑facing quality leadership environments
- Organizations requiring strong cultural agility and international collaboration
This opportunity could be an excellent fit for someone who:
- Wants broader global influence
- Enjoys solving complex food safety challenges
- Is energized by multicultural collaboration
- Prefers impact and visibility over large corporate bureaucracy
- Wants to help build the future of global FSQA within a growing organization
Travel: Approximately 30% global travel.
Competitive executive compensation package including base salary, bonus opportunity with estimated on‑target earnings (OTE) between $300K-$375K, plus relocation assistance and executive‑level benefits/perks.
