• Measure key metrics against our internal quality standards, develop scorecards, and implement continuous improvement efforts focused on quality
• Work with our Research team to create production process solutions that fail-proof our operations
• Work with the Supply Chain team to ensure on-time deliveries do not occur at the cost of quality, and also that quality does not hinder on-time deliveries
• Train, coach, and develop a team of quality-minded associates, teaching quality control processes and procedures and ensuring that quality is a top priority for all employees

Who you are:
