Quality Manager – Manufacturing (Hands-On Leader)

Build quality where it happens. Lead from the floor. Make a real impact.

We’re hiring a hands-on Quality Manager to lead quality across manufacturing operations and global suppliers. This is a high-visibility, working leadership role—you’ll be on the production floor daily, solving problems, improving processes, and driving measurable results.

What You’ll Do

  • Own daily quality performance on the production floor—investigate defects, lead containment, and fix root causes
  • Manage and improve the Quality Management System (QMS) and CAPA processes
  • Lead supplier quality & audits (domestic + international) and drive corrective actions
  • Ensure compliance with retailer standards, QAFA, and SMETA audits
  • Analyze data to reduce scrap, rework, returns, and customer complaints
  • Lead continuous improvement / Lean initiatives and build KPI tracking

What You Bring

  • 10+ years of manufacturing quality experience (hands-on leadership required)
  • Metal and Consumer Products manufacturing experience (required)
  • Experience with QAFA and SMETA audits (required)
  • Strong background in root cause analysis, process control, and supplier quality
  • Ability to work directly on the production floor in a fast-paced environment
  • Lean / Six Sigma and ERP experience (SAP a plus)

Why This Role?

  • High-impact role with direct influence on product quality and operations
  • Opportunity to lead supplier and factory improvements globally
  • Visible leadership position with strong partnership across Operations, Sourcing, and Product teams
  • Drive real results: reduce defects, improve consistency, and strengthen compliance
