Who we are

Skjodt-Barrett is a world-class manufacturer of food solutions and custom ingredients for North America's most beloved and trusted brands. We take pride in working closely with our customers to understand their unique needs and create innovative, individualized solutions that deliver joy to their customers.

A family-founded company started over 35 years ago, we are backed by the investment company Axel Johnson Inc (AJI). With their investment and support, we are well-positioned to foster growth and explore new opportunities.

Our customers, blue-chip international brands and mid-sized producers alike, are why we exist. Our teams of innovators, communicators, and managers are the people who meet their needs, build trust, and exceed their expectations.

Who we need

Reporting to the QA Manager, we are hiring a Finished Goods Release Coordinator. You will play a critical role in ensuring the timely and compliant release of finished food products. You will review production, packaging, and quality documentation to verify that all finished goods meet internal quality standards, regulatory requirements, and customer specifications before release to distribution. You will work cross-functionally with Quality Assurance, Production, Supply Chain, Customer Service, and Warehouse departments to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.

This is a day shift, with flexible onsite hours Monday through Friday working at our plant in Lebanon, Indiana.

What’s in it for you

Experience and growth. You will gain broad exposure across Quality, Production, Supply Chain, and Customer teams while building a strong foundation to grow your career. Whether you choose to advance within Quality, move into Product Development, or transition into Customer-facing roles, there are multiple career paths to explore in a company that values internal growth.

Autonomy and transformation. As Skjodt-Barrett continues to evolve, this is an opportunity to make the role your own. You will work with independence, contribute ideas, and see your suggestions implemented as part of our company-wide transformation. You will also benefit from flexible onsite hours, comprehensive health coverage, a Health Spending Account (HSA), and 401(k) matching.

How you will make an impact :

• Prioritize quality. You will support the success of the Quality team and production operations by ensuring all activities align with company standards, customer expectations, and regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate product release. You will review production batch records, packaging documentation, test results, and quality data to confirm compliance before release. You will manage and resolve product holds, monitor and escalate aging inventory or release delays, and issue Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) as required to ensure on-time shipment.
• Verify compliance. You will confirm that all Critical Control Points (CCPs) and preventive controls are met according to HACCP and Food Safety Plans. You will ensure compliance with FDA, USDA, FSMA, GFSI, and customer specifications, while adhering to all company safety and quality standards, including the facility’s GMP Program.
• Maintain documentation. You will manage accurate, up-to-date release logs, batch records, and digital systems. You will organize and maintain complete documentation of all required quality systems and activities.
• Support audits and investigations. You will participate in audits, traceability exercises, and recall or withdrawal activities by providing accurate traceability and inventory data. You will collaborate with QA, Production, Supply Chain, and other departments to resolve discrepancies, investigate non-conformances, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
• Train and coach. You will provide coaching, education, and training to management staff and plant employees on Quality Assurance practices and GMP compliance, seeking support from additional training resources when needed.
• Other responsibilities. You will perform other tasks as assigned to ensure the success of the quality function and the safe, compliant release of finished goods.
