• This position is critical for implementing and maintaining rigorous quality standards and ensuring compliance across all product handling and storage operations.

Key Responsibilities
Quality Assurance and Control:

• Develop and execute quality management strategies to drastically minimize product spoilage, which currently represents a significant loss to the business.

• Foster a collaborative environment where team members, including store handlers, feel empowered to raise concerns and offer advice on quality control and storage practices.
