Director of Quality

Curtis Food Recruiters

Director Of Quality

Are you a quality leader who leads with integrity, builds strong relationships, and believes people are the foundation of long-term success?

Our client, a respected and growing leader in cheese and dairy ingredients, is seeking a director of quality to lead all quality, regulatory, and food safety functions across a complex manufacturing operation. This is a rare opportunity to join a highly successful, farmer-owned cooperative known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and operational excellence. Their diverse product portfolio includes cheese, whey derivatives, lactose, dry powders, and infant-formula-grade ingredients serving customers around the globe.

Reporting directly to the VP of manufacturing, this high-impact leadership role is a key member of the plant leadership team. You will partner closely with operations, maintenance, engineering, and corporate leadership to strengthen a culture of food safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will bring a proactive, prevention-focused mindset, leveraging data-driven decision-making to drive sustainable results, support business growth, and ensure world-class quality standards across the organization.

  • 5-7+ years of progressive leadership experience in quality, food safety, and regulatory compliance within food, dairy, or ingredient manufacturing environments.
  • Deep understanding of quality systems, food safety programs, regulatory requirements, and continuous improvement in a fast-paced, 24/7 manufacturing setting.
  • Demonstrated success leading customer, regulatory, and third-party audits, driving CAPA programs, and influencing cross-functional teams to achieve sustainable results.
  • Extensive experience in dairy, dairy ingredients, and/or infant-formula-grade manufacturing environments.
  • Multi-site quality leadership experience a plus.
  • Certifications including FSMA/PCQI, SQF Practitioner, and HACCP required; halal, kosher, and other GFSI scheme experience highly valued.
  • Bachelor's degree in food science, dairy science, microbiology, chemistry, or a related scientific discipline required.
  • A collaborative leadership style with the ability to build trust, develop teams, and drive a culture of quality, food safety, and accountability.
