Quality Data Analyst

Quality Data & AI Analyst

Good Culture is on a mission to zero defects — and we need a curious, data-driven thinker to help get us there. As our Quality Data & AI Analyst, you'll sit at the intersection of food safety, analytics, and artificial intelligence, turning raw production data into insights that protect our brand and make every cup of cottage cheese better than the last.

You'll work closely with our co-manufacturing partners, Operations, Product Development, and FSQA Leadership — serving as the analytical engine behind our Quality Systems Pillar. If you love digging into data, experimenting with AI tools, and solving real-world problems in a fast-moving, purpose-driven company, this role was built for you.

Essential Job Responsibilities:

• Bridge quality and data: translate quality insights into a continuous, data-driven improvement process that the whole team can act on.
• Analyze defect trends using tools like AI, machine learning, and statistical modeling to catch issues early and strengthen our processes.
• Monitor production data to ensure compliance with critical factors, specifications, and regulatory standards.
• Own recurring reporting for leadership, operations, procurement, finance, and executive review.
• Be the connective tissue for FSQA meetings — setting agendas, communicating progress, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
• Track supplier performance and help build and maintain our supplier scorecard.
• Support audits and quality documentation management.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of food safety and quality programs.
• Develop deep expertise in cottage cheese production and quality so you can anticipate problems before they happen.
• Help protect and grow one of the most unique brands in food — because Good Makes Good.
• Have fun and make a difference.

Job Qualifications:

• B.S. in Food Science, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Business, Statistics, or a related field.
• Sharp critical thinking skills — you can validate information, spot bad data, and apply sound judgment when working with AI-generated outputs.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; comfortable presenting to leadership and building relationships with co-manufacturing partners.
• Ability to work independently and know when to loop others in.
• Proficiency in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Great attitude, desire to build something great, and love of cottage cheese.

Preferred:

• 0–2 years of experience in tech services, food safety, or quality assurance.
• Experience with Python, LLMs, command-line tools, or APIs.
• Familiarity with AI workflows — Projects, Artifacts, agentic tools, and prompt engineering.
• Food industry or co-manufacturing experience.
• Certifications such as HACCP, PCQI, or SQF Practitioner.
• Statistical knowledge and experience applying it to process improvement
