TITLE: Quality Assurance Manager (cGMP)

LOCATION: Portland, OR (On-Site)

PAY: Target pay for this role is $75,000–$95,000 per year but may vary based on experience

ENGAGEMENT TYPE: Direct Hire

Our client is a Portland-based aromatics manufacturer looking for a Quality Assurance Manager to take full ownership of their quality systems, compliance, and documentation across all internal and external operations. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where you'll be the primary driver of quality culture at a growing company — working directly alongside senior leadership to shape standards and KPIs across every department.

Responsibilities include:

• Owning and maintaining all QA documentation, records, SOPs, flowcharts, and logs using Safety Chain, Katana, and Google Drive
• Monitoring and ensuring cGMP compliance across material, manufacturing, packaging, and equipment processes
• Preparing for and executing compliance inspections and audits
• Tracking finished goods, quality issues, and rejected/returned products
• Training and guiding employees on required cGMP operations and daily quality practices
• Collaborating cross-departmentally to develop and maintain quality standards and KPIs
• Providing end-of-day operational summaries and reports to senior leadership
• Serving as the primary QA point of contact for internal departments and leadership

• Experience working in a cGMP-regulated manufacturing environment (aromatics, cosmetics, food & beverage, nutraceuticals, cannabis, or similar preferred)
• Proficiency managing quality systems, records, SOPs, and documentation — experience with Safety Chain, Katana, or similar QMS/MRP platforms is a plus
• Proven ability to prepare for and execute compliance audits and inspections
• Strong cross-departmental communicator who can influence quality standards without direct authority
• Comfortable operating as the sole QA leader in a smaller, fast-paced environment
• Detail-oriented, process-driven, and proactive about continuous improvement
