Supplier Quality Manager - Seafood - Jessup, MD

At Sam’s Club, we are member obsessed. This mission serves as the foundation for every decision we make to create the future of retail, from responsible sourcing to sustainability – and everything in between.

As a Seafood Quality Control Manager, your expertise, vision, and strategy will allow you to see the products you inspect come to life in stores and online. Leveraging your quality expertise with the access and scale of the Sam’s Club system, you’ll make a direct impact on the business and have our members feel like the products we offer were made with them in mind. Along the way, you’ll be guided by our deep-rooted culture and have the support and tools you need to do your job, learn, grow and succeed.

In Quality Control our goal is simple: build trust with our members by ensuring we provide the highest quality fresh food when they shop with us – online or in-store. Fresh foods – produce, meat, deli, and bakery – are dynamic businesses that require clear planning and execution to provide great quality to our members. Our clubs need QC to provide consistent quality so they can delight our members. Suppliers also need to trust that we’ll treat them fairly while maintaining the high-quality standards we expect from them.

What you’ll do…

The Seafood QC Manager position is a strategically critical role at Sam’s Club. You have a dual role: inspecting case-ready seafood as it is produced in a third-party supplier facility while also analyzing the quality to prioritize where Sam’s Club can have the biggest impact. You interact with plant management to show them areas to improve quality as well as work with the seafood merchandising team to ensure the merchant vision is being executed on the plant floor. Strong communication skills are also critical, because you’ll work with many supply-chain partners – merchandising/sourcing, distribution, technology teams, and suppliers. You’ll have the opportunity to use design-thinking for process improvement and to support the development of new systems and processes. Our members depend on QC to drive quality and shelf life, and you are part of the team that makes it happen.

• You are member obsessed in spirit and in execution
• You like digging into data and doing analysis
• You like making a daily impact in a processing environment
• You’re excited about solving complex challenges
• You’re comfortable influencing others, leading teams, managing stakeholders, getting buy-in from leadership, and communicating clearly
• You have a test and learn mentality and an agile way of working to improve your team’s products    
• You must be able to work a flexible schedule
• You must be able to work in a 34–54-degree environment on the floor

You’ll make an impact by:

• Establishing and influencing high-visibility relationships with merchants, supply chain partners, and suppliers
• Leading cross-functional efforts to improve quality, from supplier to club        
• Always looking for creative ideas to drive business improvements, innovation, and member experience
