FSQA Manager (Attleboro)
KLR Executive Search Group is proud to partner with our long-standing client, Willow Tree Poultry Farm, to recruit a Food Safety & Quality Assurance (FSQA) Manager.
This is a highly visible, hands-on leadership role overseeing all food safety and quality systems at a USDA-inspected, SQF-certified ready-to-eat poultry facility.
The Role
Reporting to the General Manager, the FSQA Manager will own FSQA systems end-to-end and serve as the key authority on product safety, regulatory compliance, and audit readiness.

- Serve as primary contact for USDA inspectors and manage audit readiness.
- Oversee prerequisite programs (SSOPs, allergen control, sanitation, traceability).
- Own product disposition decisions (hold, release, rework, destroy).
- Lead audits, root cause analysis, and corrective actions.
- Develop the QA team and drive accountability across the production floor.
- Analyze data and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
Qualifications
- 7+ years in food safety/quality within USDA-regulated manufacturing.
- 3+ years in FSQA leadership.
- Strong knowledge of HACCP, SQF (or GFSI), and USDA FSIS.
- Experience in RTE food safety (Listeria control preferred).
- Proven ability to lead audits and make high-impact decisions.
Compensation
$120,000 – $130,000 base salary + bonus potential and benefits.
