Quality Manager – Supplier Compliance & Positive Release (m/f/d) - fixed term
<h2>Your tasks</h2>
<p>Please note: This a fixed term contract with a duration of 1 year</p>
<p>At KoRo, we are rethinking the food industry by focusing on transparency, quality, and efficient digital processes. To ensure that only the best products reach our customers, we are looking for a detail-oriented Quality Manager to take full ownership of our supplier compliance and the "Positive Release" process.</p>
<p>Your Mission: Precision in Food Safety</p>
<p>You ensure that every batch delivered to our warehouse meets our strict safety and quality standards before it is cleared for sale.</p>
<ul>
<li>Batch Release Management: You perform the "Positive Release" for incoming product batches by meticulously reviewing supplier laboratory results and certificates of analysis (CoA).</li>
<li>Compliance Check: You verify all lab data against specific KoRo requirements and legal food safety standards to ensure 100% conformity.</li>
<li>Supplier Communication: You are the direct point of contact for our European suppliers. You confidently negotiate and demand missing or corrected information and laboratory evidence.</li>
<li>Risk Mitigation: As a key interface in our Supplier Quality Management, you ensure that no non-conforming goods enter our active inventory.
Process Evolution: You don't just follow rules; you improve them. You will actively work on scaling and digitizing our Quality Management through the further development of SOPs, digital forms, and automated workflows.</li>

<li>what "safe food" looks like on paper.</li>

<li>Digital Mindset: You love clean data and efficient processes. Experience with tools like Notion or Google Workspace (including complex Sheets) is a big plus.
Detail-Obsessed: "Good enough" is not in your vocabulary. You enjoy diving deep into technical documents to find even the smallest discrepancy.</li>
