QA/QC Specialist
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Full Time
Experienced
We’re a fast-growing dietary supplement manufacturer operating under 21 CFR 111, and we’re looking for a hands-on QA/QC professional who enjoys building and improving systems—not just maintaining what already exists.
This role blends day-to-day QA/QC execution (receiving/in-process/final review, holds/releases, documentation) with quality system development (SOP/MMR/BPR improvements, supplier qualification, CAPA discipline, and training). You’ll work closely with Quality leadership to tighten processes, reduce errors, and raise the “inspection-ready” standard over time.
You won’t be expected to own everything on day one—but you should be comfortable stepping into a growing environment where we’re actively getting better and need someone who can help create structure and make it stick.
What you’ll do
Quality System Continuous Improvement
Partner with Quality leadership to identify gaps, prioritize improvements, and execute a practical roadmap across documentation, training, supplier qualification, and CAPA.
What you’ll bring
