Job Details Description Why Join as VP of Food Safety & Quality
Assurance? This is not your typical FSQA leadership role. At
Clemens Food Group, the Vice President of Food Safety & Quality
Assurance (FSQA) is central to our mission: to ensure safety and
quality while enabling scale and growth. You’ll step into a
function that’s evolving—elevated in responsibility, visibility,
and influence—and you’ll help shape it from day one. This is also a
succession-ready opportunity: the current SVP is preparing for a
long-term transition and is seeking a dynamic, inspiring leader who
can step into that future. The Impact You’ll Make Align and elevate
food safety and quality across all production facilities. Establish
KPIs, performance rhythms, and strategic direction for FSQA across
Clemens. Partner with Operations and Sales to bridge priorities and
ensure proactive compliance and customer trust. Develop and assess
sanitation performance—including oversight of off-shift and
third-shift teams. Lead with influence—up, down, and across the
organization. What You’ll Do Serve as the top FSQA voice in
cross-functional executive strategy. Lead a team of QA managers and
partner with a sanitation director to execute initiatives.
Represent CFG with USDA, major customers like Costco, and at key
industry forums. Evaluate and implement improvements to quality
systems and sanitation design. Coach, assess, and realign QA team
performance as needed. What Makes This Role Exciting Direct access
to succession: be developed as a future SVP. Cross-plant ownership:
impacts multiple facilities and enterprise standards.
Customer-facing visibility: regularly engage with key retail and
foodservice partners. Support Autonomy: high-level trust from
leadership to drive change with speed. Skills & Mindset What You
