We are seeking a hands-on FSQA Manager to support and strengthen food safety and quality systems at our Houston bakery. This role is ideal for a food safety professional who thrives on the production floor, enjoys leading sanitation and QA teams, and can balance daily execution with disciplined documentation and continuous improvement.

This is a unique role where you will have an opportunity to support the General Manager at the Bakery and also report to the Corporate Senior Manager, Food Safety & Quality.

You can expect to work a day shift Monday through Friday with additional hours or weekends as needed; in addition, there will be a need for one week per month supporting overnight sanitation supervision.
