QA Manager

Quality in an international dairy trading company

Bdairy moves dairy around the world with a team of around 30 people. We do not produce, we trade. That gives quality a different angle. Same standards, BRC included, different day-to-day. The focus is on our suppliers and customers, our specifications and the documents behind every shipment.

We are looking for a QA Manager who takes that on with our QA team, from supplier approvals to the quality questions that come up in trade every day. In practice, this means:

• Running our BRC certification and guiding the audits

• Approving suppliers and weighing what an approval means commercially

• Seeing risks coming and giving traders and operations clear advice

• Handling claims and quality issues quickly, with proper follow-up

• Keeping our quality system, procedures and documentation up to date, and improving them where needed

• Being the point of contact for quality for our team, customers, suppliers and certification bodies

• Guiding the QA team day to day and sharing dairy and quality knowledge across the organisation
