Quality Assurance Manager

Cambridge, ON
Job ID 10416

Company Description

Our client is a growing, multi-site logistics and distribution partner that supports major customers across North America with high-volume warehousing, freight forwarding, and end-to-end supply chain solutions. With rising demand, expanding facilities, and a strong commitment to service excellence, they are investing in the modernization and elevation of their Quality Management System — and they are searching for a proven QA leader who can take ownership of this mandate.

If you are energized by continuous improvement, enjoy building high-performing teams, and thrive in an audit-ready environment, this role offers the autonomy, resources, and leadership visibility needed to make a real impact.

Compensation

A lucrative salary, attractive performance incentives, and comprehensive benefits package are on offer.

The Opportunity

This is not just another QA role — it is a chance to take the wheel and become the driving force behind a quality and compliance program that the entire organization stands behind. You will have a true seat at the leadership table where your voice carries weight, your ideas shape strategy, and your expertise influences the future of the business.

In this role, you will build, lead, and elevate quality systems that strengthen customer confidence, improve operational performance, and keep the organization audit-ready as it scales. You’ll have the authority to modernize processes, secure key certifications, and foster a culture where quality is owned by everyone, not enforced by one department. All of this takes place within a people-first company that backs its leaders, invests in continuous improvement, and rewards impact with competitive compensation, strong benefits, and long-term career growth.

If you are a quality leader who thrives on raising standards, inspiring teams, and leaving a lasting mark across the supply chain, this is the stage you’ve been waiting for.

Position Description

  • Champion the company’s Quality Management System, ensuring full alignment with globally recognized standards such as BRCGS, HACCP, GMP, and ISO-based requirements
  • Oversee internal and external audits, customer visits, and third-party certifications, while ensuring the facility is always audit-ready
  • Manage document control, deviation tracking, investigations, and corrective actions
  • Guide and mentor a dedicated quality team, reinforcing a culture where food safety and compliance are shared priorities across all departments
  • Partner with Operations, Warehouse, and Maintenance to troubleshoot issues, reduce risk, and strengthen process capability
  • Own recall simulations, traceability exercises, root-cause investigations, and customer complaint responses
  • Drive proactive continuous-improvement initiatives using data, trend analysis, and performance metrics
  • Lead employee training and awareness programs focused on GMP, food safety, and regulatory compliance
  • Serve as the key liaison during management reviews, customer communications, and certification body interactions

Experience

  • 5 or more years of progressive QA experience in food, beverage, nutraceutical, or similar regulated manufacturing
  • Hands-on experience working within BRCGS or similar GFSI-benchmarked systems

Qualifications

  • Diploma or degree in Food Science, Quality, or a related field
  • Strong audit background and comfort leading both internal and external assessments
  • Solid understanding of HACCP, GMP, and ISO-based systems and how they translate into daily production practices
  • Confident leadership style with the ability to coach, influence, and elevate quality across teams
  • Certifications such as HACCP, Internal Auditor, or Lead Auditor are considered assets
  • Working knowledge of QMS or ERP software and strong Microsoft Office skills

Education

Diploma or degree in Food Science, Quality, or a related field.
