Food Safety & Quality Manager

At Pluck'd , we're building a massive, state-of-the-art, 65-acre greenhouse in Carroll County, Virginia - a facility designed to revolutionize how fresh produce is grown and delivered. While our first tomatoes won't roll off the vine until 2026, we need a Food Safety & Quality Manager now to establish the systems and standards that will guide our production, packaging, and distribution operations for years to come.

This role will ensure that Pluck'd meets and exceeds federal, state, and industry food safety requirements, with a strong focus on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). You'll lead food safety and quality management programs, oversee audits, and partner with teams across the organization to build a proactive, prevention-driven food safety culture. As production ramps up, you'll scale our quality systems to support growth while maintaining compliance and operational excellence.
