 Position Overview

KombuCraft Co is searching for a Senior Quality Assurance and Food Safety Manager who doesn’t just monitor standards — they build the systems that protect an entire brand. This is a high-ownership role that puts you at the center of product safety, regulatory compliance, supplier quality, and continuous process improvement across a premium fermented beverage operation in Kuwait City.

• Ensure the organization maintains continuous audit readiness for all external regulatory inspections and third-party certifications
• Prepare detailed audit reports, corrective action plans, and management summaries for senior leadership and compliance bodies
• Build audit-ready documentation and record-keeping systems that reflect best-in-class compliance governance standards

Production Process Control & Monitoring

• Identify process deviations, implement immediate corrective actions, and investigate root causes to prevent recurrence
• Collaborate closely with production and operations teams to integrate quality control checkpoints seamlessly into daily workflows
• Support new product development by establishing quality and food safety parameters for fermented and functional beverage innovations

Supplier Quality Management

• Evaluate, approve, and continuously monitor raw material and packaging suppliers against defined quality and food safety standards
• Conduct supplier audits, assess quality documentation, and manage non-conformance resolution with external partners
