Head of Quality Operations at Johan i Hallen & Bergfalk, Gothenburg

Do you want to lead and develop quality operations in a business where the pace is high and where quality and food safety are a natural part of everyday work? As Head of Quality Operations, you will have overall responsibility for operational quality work at Johan i Hallen & Bergfalk's Swedish facilities. You will lead an experienced team and have the opportunity to develop shared approaches and create structure in an organization undergoing change. You report to the Quality & Sustainability Director, and the role is based in Partille, Gothenburg. About the role As Head of Quality Operations, you lead, coordinate, and develop operational quality work at JHB's facilities in Sweden. Together with your team, you ensure that operations comply with legislation, quality requirements, and high standards for food safety. Your responsibilities include quality, traceability, temperature, food safety, HACCP, quality control, deviations, and corrective actions. You also drive and coordinate work for audits, certifications, and regulatory inspections. An important part of the assignment is to develop more consistent quality operations across facilities. You drive improvements in processes, working methods, and systems and ensure they work in practice—close to production, storage, and logistics. Operations are characterized by high pace and quick decisions. You need to be able to prioritize, set direction, and handle issues as they arise without losing the long-term perspective. The role involves regular travel between JHB's facilities. You will primarily move between Partille and Fiskhamen in Gothenburg and travel to Helsingborg and Stockholm a couple of times per month. You have worked close to production and understand how regulations and quality requirements are implemented in daily operations. Experience from meat, fish, protein production, or other fresh produce is a merit. The role requires solid knowledge of HACCP, GMP, FSSC 22000, and applicable food legislation, as well as experience with quality control, audits, and regulatory contacts. We believe you have experience driving improvement work and developing processes and working methods within quality. Leadership is an important part of the role, and you are comfortable creating structure, setting direction, and developing people. With clear leadership, you get others to thrive, grow, and take responsibility. We are looking for someone with academic education in food science or equivalent experience and several years of experience with quality work in the food industry. You have unobstructed communication in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing. About you Change and high pace suit you; you are solution-oriented, flexible, and confident even when all answers aren't available from the start. You listen to the experience that exists in the team, dare to challenge when something needs to change, and do it in a way that creates engagement. You are a confident and clear leader who builds trust and brings others along. Your leadership is coaching and unpretentious—you give people space to take responsibility while being comfortable making decisions and setting direction. You enjoy being close to operations and don't hesitate to roll up your sleeves when needed. At the same time, you have the ability to step back, create structure, and drive development forward.
