Project and Change Management

· Execute against a Continuous Improvement Roadmap (CIR)

· Apply methods such as 5 Whys, fishbone analysis, Pareto analysis, process mapping, FMEA, CAPA, and A3 problem solving.

· Differentiate containment, corrective action, and preventive action; assign ownership and verify effectiveness before closure.

· Ensure root causes and corrective actions are supported by evidence and translated into sustainable process controls.

Technology and Systems Improvement

· Partner with IT and business stakeholders to improve workflows involving Microsoft Dynamics 365, WMS, Power BI, EDI, and related business systems.

· Translate operational requirements into clear process and system requirements, test cases, controls, and implementation plans.

Compliance, Quality, and Food Supply Chain

· Support processes that meet company, customer, regulatory, food safety, inventory control, traceability, and quality requirements.

· Incorporate food supply chain risks, including product integrity, lot and batch control, temperature requirements, sanitation, and service continuity, into improvement work as applicable.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
