· Monitor growers, packhouses and service providers, conducting audits and farm visits and following up corrective actions.

· Coordinate quality control teams, inspection protocols and quality data reporting across origin and destination points.

· Own claims, rejections and complaint investigation processes, using root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.

· Lead crisis responses, incident management, holds, withdrawals, recalls, mock recalls, traceability and laboratory testing programmes.

· Recruit, motivate and guide the professional development of the quality team.
