Descripción del empleo

At Heura we are food activists, and our mission is to provide a solution that leaves animals out of the equation, while feeding millions of people in a sustainable way. Technology gives us the opportunity to build a food system that not only solves our current challenges but also responds to our values.

We also know that great goals can only be achieved by diverse teams of people with different backgrounds, perspectives, orientations, abilities, food tastes, dress sense, and time zones - we don't just accept our differences; we fully support and celebrate them.

But ultimately, we all have one common goal: accelerating the protein transition.

And that’s why we are looking for a Quality & Food Safety Manager! To join the Good Rebels team and help us achieve our mission through ensuring the quality and food safety of the company's products by efficiently managing quality standards, certifications, and relationships with outsourced factories, guaranteeing compliance with legal regulations, internal standards, and customer expectations.

• Define, implement, and monitor Quality Control Plans with co-manufacturers (Comans).

Food Safety and Regulation :

• Ensure compliance with legal regulations regarding food safety across all target markets.
• Co-define and validate product documentation with R&D, including technical data sheets, microbiology for shelf life and nutritional values, as well as raw material / blend documentation and manufacturing packs.

• Coordinate external audits with certification bodies.

Team Management and External Relations :

• Lead the internal quality team and coordinate with quality managers at factories.
• Maintain open communication with suppliers and customers on quality matters.
• Provide training on quality standards for internal and external teams.
