ABOUT US

nVillage Fare Foods makes private-label pet treats out of Orangeville, Ontario. We’re SQF-certified, growing steadily, and work with brand partners across North America. It’s a smaller team, so people know each other and the work you do actually shows up. We care about getting things right and we’re looking for someone who feels the same way.n

ABOUT THE ROLE

nThis is a systems and leadership role, not a production floor position. You’d be responsible for owning our food safety and quality programs at a program level - setting direction, maintaining our SQF certification, and making sure our labels, records, and compliance obligations are in good shape. You’ll also be responsible for an SQF Analyst who handles more of the day-to-day manual work, so part of this role is organizing and directing that work effectively. It’s a good fit if you like having ownership over a function and genuinely care that things are done properly.n

This role is Hybrid: 3 days remote / 2 onsite
