Red Kite Recruiting
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 3/26/2025 CLOSED ON 4/3/2025

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Quality Assurance position at Red Kite Recruiting?

Are you a seasoned QA leader with deep experience in meat processing and a passion for food safety? This is an exciting opportunity to build and lead a best-in-class FSQA program in a growing, modern facility.


We're looking for someone who thrives in a hands-on role—someone who’s just as comfortable developing strategy as they are walking the production floor. In this role, you'll oversee all food safety and quality programs, ensure compliance with USDA, FSIS, and SQF standards, and lead a dedicated team of QA professionals. You’ll work cross-functionally with operations, engineering, and senior leadership to drive continuous improvement, support expansion efforts, and maintain the highest standards of product integrity.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead and enhance food safety systems (HACCP, SQF, GMPs)
  • Ensure full compliance with USDA/FSIS regulations
  • Oversee daily inspections, sanitation reviews, and quality audits
  • Manage and develop a team of QA/QC technicians
  • Drive process improvements and support new product and facility initiatives


What We’re Looking For:

  • 10 years of FSQA leadership in meat, ground beef, or case-ready processing
  • SQF Practitioner Certification (required)
  • Expertise in HACCP, GMPs, and USDA regulations
  • Strong leadership and cross-functional communication skills
  • Experience with QA software like SafetyChain is a plus
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a bonus


If you’re ready to make a lasting impact and lead food safety in a high-growth environment, we’d love to connect.
