• Work closely with vendors and co-packers for product consistency and adherence to Zama’s quality standards.
• Oversee 

  quality control checks

   — from raw materials to finished goods.

• 2 –4 years of experience in 

  product development, quality assurance, or food compliance

  .

   (organic, HACCP, ISO) is a plus.
• Good analytical and communication skills with an eye for detail.
• Someone who enjoys working hands-on, multitasking, and collaborating with different teams.
• Passionate about food, curious about ingredients, and genuinely cares about quality.
