Your Mission
At Puratos, we are dedicated to establishing, managing, and maintaining a robust quality management system for cocoa that covers raw materials, finished products, outsourcing, processes, and services. Our mission is to ensure the highest standards of food safety and quality, in line with GFSI standards and customer requirements. We are committed to fostering a food safety and quality culture that aligns with Puratos Group standards and policies.
As a Quality Manager for the Cacao-Trace program, you will play a vital role in supporting and reinforcing Cacao-Trace specifications and requirements on quality and food safety. You will delve deep into the roots of harvesting, processing and transporting cocoa, embracing the entire process from farm to factory. Your expertise will drive sustainability and social responsibility within the Cacao-Trace program, bringing valuable knowledge to the local and global farmers and chocolate community. Your adventurous spirit will take you to cocoa plantations, even in remote jungle locations, to ensure firsthand understanding and quality control of the entire supply chain process.
Key Accountabilities
Quality Assurance

- Track and report quality KPIs for each Cacao-Trace sourcing unit.
- Develop and implement a risk-based food safety monitoring plan and an environmental sampling plan for cocoa and cocoa processing plants.
- Understand food safety risks in the cocoa supply chain and continuously improve Cacao-Trace sourcing flows to comply with food safety regulations.
- Ensure full traceability of the supply chain, and collaborate with sourcing, purchasing, and R&D to implement traceability tools.
- Define and implement quality control inspection points for cocoa beans, including certification documentation, and standardize these across all Cacao-Trace sourcing units.
Raw Materials & Packaging
- Lead risk assessments and food fraud prevention for cocoa products and their primary packaging. Monitor market trends and develop scientific knowledge on raw materials and packaging functionality to improve purchase specifications and incoming goods inspections.
- Oversee the approval and validation of new suppliers, raw materials, packaging materials, and subcontractors.
- Coordinate raw materials and packaging meetings to align all relevant departments (e.g., purchase, R&D, production, supply chain, and quality) and standardize specifications across all Cacao-Trace sourcing units.
- Develop and implement a risk-based supplier audit plan covering all aspects of the quality management system.
Who are we looking for?
- A master's degree with at least 3 years of relevant experience in the food industry, ideally with cocoa, raw materials, or packaging.
- Fluency in English is required; knowledge of French and Spanish is a plus.
- Strong communication skills (internal, intercompany, and external), with a proactive and assertive approach.
- Excellent negotiation skills for dealing with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and subcontractors.
- A team player with a hands-on and continuous improvement mindset.
- Strong organizational and transversal coordination skills.
- Willingness to travel 20-30% of the time, including remote tropical and subtropical locations where cacao plantations are for firsthand quality control and understanding of cocoa plantations.
