Job Description:

The fundamental purpose of the Q&FS and Sensory Technologist role is to support factory operations by ensuring quality, food safety, and sensory compliance through the effective implementation and maintenance of quality management systems (QMS), sensory conformance programs, and related processes. This role is responsible for maintaining the plant's quality compliance infrastructure while ensuring finished products and ingredients consistently meet established quality and sensory specifications.

The position requires cross-functional knowledge of factory operations and accountability for implementing quality and sensory-related projects, processes, and programs. Key responsibilities include contributing to QMS compliance by converting recipes into factory systems to meet specifications, maintaining recipe governance for Q&FS-related Statistical Process Control (SPC) parameters, and serving as the site liaison to Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) for Packaging Holds, coordinating S-CAPA management, communication, and follow-up to support timely resolution of packaging quality issues.

Additionally, the role oversees the sensory evaluation of finished products and ingredients, coordinates daily sensory panels, and supports problem-solving activities related to product quality and sensory conformance.

The role also provides training and guidance to site associates to support on-line sensory programs and works in partnership with BU/Global Sensory Scientists to implement site-specific innovations that strengthen product quality, consistency, and conformance. Through collaboration with cross-functional teams and external partners, this position helps ensure the ongoing effectiveness of quality and sensory systems, supports factory performance, and drives continuous improvement in product quality and compliance.
