About The Position

We are a fast-growing dietary supplement manufacturer operating in compliance with 21 CFR Part 111, seeking a hands-on QA/QC professional who is motivated by building, strengthening, and refining quality systems—not simply maintaining the status quo. This role combines daily QA/QC execution (including raw materials & product receiving, in-process and final reviews for materials / documentation, material quarantines and releases, and document control) with active Quality Management System development. Responsibilities include writing and reviewing SOPs, MMRs, and BPRs; supporting supplier qualification; strengthening CAPA effectiveness; and contributing to GMP training programs. You will partner closely with Quality leadership to enhance process consistency, reduce errors, and elevate our long-term “inspection-ready” posture. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in a dynamic, growing environment and is eager to help establish structure, drive continuous improvement, and ensure those improvements are sustainable.

Requirements

1+ year in a QA or QC role in dietary supplements or food/beverage.
Relevant education/training (degree in relevant field, GMP certifications, etc.) demonstrating readiness to perform regulated QA/QC work.
Solid Excel/Google Sheets skills (filters, pivot tables, lookups) and comfort learning digital tools (we use digital systems and expect you to learn quickly).
Must have reliable transportation; role may include traveling between sites.
Must be willing to work early/later than business hours on occasion.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting regulatory inspections or GMP certification audits.
Experience with Lean Manufacturing / Six Sigma

Help establish quality metrics (doc errors, deviations, supplier performance, training completion) and drive corrective/preventive actions.
Draft, revise, and version-control SOPs, Work Instructions, forms, and logbooks; route for review/approval; train teams on changes.
Build and maintain Master Manufacturing Records (MMRs) (21 CFR 111.210) and ensure executed Batch Production Records (BPRs) (111.260) are complete, legible, and compliant.
