Azzad Saudi Company — part of the Munajem Group — is looking for an experienced Quality & Safety Manager in Riyadh for its catering and food services business. You will manage quality and safety standards across food products and food production, develop and review policies, handle third-party audits, train quality assurance and quality control staff, and report in detail to the CEO. With 8–10 years of progressive experience in food safety, quality control, and quality assurance — at least five of them in a managerial role in a catering or food production company — this is a senior position with real authority over how food is made, checked, and released.
About This Role — Quality & Safety Manager at Azzad Saudi Company
Company: Azzad Saudi Company, part of Munajem Group, operating in the catering and food services industry in Riyadh
Role Purpose: Manage and oversee the quality and safety of the company’s food products and food production
Authority: Develops and reviews quality and safety policies, sets supplier requirements for raw materials, and oversees production and product development procedures
Reporting: Submits detailed reports to the CEO
Level and Type: Mid-senior level, full-time
Why This Quality & Safety Manager Role in Riyadh Stands Out
Direct Line to the CEO: Quality findings, statistical reviews, and recommendations go straight to the top of the company
Wide Mandate: Quality, food safety, health and safety, audits, supplier requirements, training, and documentation all fall under one role
Growing Market: Catering and food services in Riyadh depend on trusted food safety leadership as demand and regulation keep rising
Leadership Role: You train and guide QA and QC employees and set the standard for the whole operation
Position Overview
The Quality & Safety Manager oversees the overall quality and safety of Azzad’s food products and food production. You will develop effective quality control processes, devise and review specifications for products and processes, set requirements for raw materials and intermediate products and monitor supplier compliance, inspect finished products against requirements, keep accurate records and run statistical analysis, manage third-party audits, conduct facility and safety audits, keep SOPs and food safety documentation current, train staff on food safety and quality, and make sure all incoming and outgoing products meet both food safety and quality standards.
Why This Quality and Safety Manager Role Stands Out: You carry both quality and safety responsibility for a catering and food production operation — a broad mandate that few roles combine, reporting detailed findings to the CEO gives your work visibility and weight in company decisions, you set raw material requirements and monitor supplier compliance, which lets you control quality before ingredients ever reach the kitchen, running third-party audits and facility and safety audits builds strong audit leadership experience, and the role pairs hands-on oversight of sanitation and maintenance with strategic work on policies, specifications, and training, so you stay close to the floor while shaping the system.
