  • Compile and analyze data and reports (quality, production, process) to identify areas for improvement in both internal and co-man quality systems.
  • Utilize quality trending and a strong knowledge of cottage cheese manufacturing to assist internal and external co-man teams in troubleshooting production and performance issues.
  • Partner closely with co-man resources to optimize current practices and reduce non-conformance incidents.
  • Support technical service and commercialization activities at co-manufacturing facilities in partnership with the Good Culture Operations and Product Development teams.
  • Help lead Good Culture's internal sensory programs.
  • Help implement our mission and ensure your work has a positive impact on our environmental and social responsibilities.

  • Experience with cottage cheese or other dairy product manufacturing required (PMO Grade A and cultured dairy production knowledge is a plus).
  • Certifications preferred but not required, including HACCP, Process Control, Continuous Improvement/Six Sigma, etc. (must be willing to become certified).
  • Experience with root cause investigations and developing and implementing preventive and corrective actions.
  • Experience with dairy sensory and/or dairy analytics labs is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence at all levels of internal and external organizations.

  • Ability to experiment, assess risk, and make data-based recommendations and decisions.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Computer proficiency, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; statistical knowledge and its application are a bonus.

This is a remote role based near a major airport, with preference given to candidates located in the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Upstate New York). The position will require approximately 50% travel, primarily within the Midwest, to educate our co-manufacturers on our Gold Standard and troubleshoot adverse quality trends at co-manufacturing sites.
