You will keep our internal product systems strictly updated, from nutritional data entry to allergen declarations, and oversee receiving specs to support timely corrective action processes for daily food production.

You will be at the front-line of FELFEL's Food Safety & Quality operations: taste testing, measuring, and continuously auditing our product to ensure every ingredient sourced and every meal served exceeds expectations. You will act as the operational problem-solver for quality compliance, audit manufacturing partners, and directly address customer feedback to ensure our safety culture is uncompromised.

Specification & Data Ownership: Author and maintain master quality specifications for all finished goods. Oversee the accurate entry and ongoing maintenance of nutritional data, allergen declarations, and ingredient decks within FELFEL internal software systems.
Supply Chain & Audit Management: Conduct rigorous audits of private label manufacturing facilities and supplier kitchens. Work closely with external vendors to drive end-to-end quality, shelf-life, and safety improvements.
Packaging Improvements: Partner with Procurement Ops to research, synthesize, and implement improvements in fresh food packaging design, improving product quality, safety, and shelf life.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the technical expert within the Food Product team, collaborating closely with Operations to investigate root causes and field customer inquiries regarding food safety or quality.
Dynamic Operations Support: Maintain operational agility by providing early morning or weekend coverage as dictated by production schedules and operational needs.

YOUR PROFILE

Regulatory & Technical Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience navigating HACCP, SQF, FDA, USDA, NYS Agriculture & Markets, NYC Department of Health, and GFSI-benchmarked standards.
Data & System Precision: High attention to detail with proven experience managing technical product databases, nutritional calculations, and regulatory label compliance.
Industry Background: Proven track record in food safety and quality assurance, with direct experience in fresh, ready-to-eat (RTE) meals strongly preferred.
Collaborative Problem-Solver: Strong cross-functional communicator who thrives when bridging the gap between quality compliance, supply chain logistics, and kitchen operations.
Flexible Schedule: Evening schedule 11AM - 7PM hours Monday through Friday, with the ability to work mornings & weekends, as needed, to mirror needs of food production schedules; 30% travel (local/same-day); ability to work between our Greenpoint, Long Island City, and Flatiron locations in the NYC area.
