Build the skills for this role
Prioritize HACCP and preventive controls thinking, GFSI-style audit readiness, FDA/USDA labeling and claims awareness, CAPA and deviation management, and clear cross-functional writing. No certification list or costs were supplied for this posting.
Be ready to walk through a real CAPA or recall-adjacent case, how you interpret a customer or agency complaint, and how you balance speed-to-shelf with documented compliance. Expect scenario questions on supplier issues, label changes, and audit findings.
Strong fit if you have plant or brand-side food safety/quality experience and enjoy structured problem-solving under regulated CPG constraints. Less ideal if you prefer pure R&D or sales without audit and documentation ownership.
