FSQA Onboarding Manager

About Us

Welcome! We’re Mike’s Hot Honey, America’s leading hot honey brand. It all started with a simple idea in 2010, when our founder, Mike Kurtz, began drizzling his homemade chili-infused honey on pizzas at the Brooklyn pizzeria where he worked. Customers asked to take some home, word spread, and a whole new category of honey was born. 

You’ll find Mike’s Hot Honey on restaurant menus and retail shelves across the country — but at our core we’re still a tight-knit team that takes care of one another and has a lot of fun doing what we do. We’re growing, and we’d love to find the right person to grow with us. 

The Opportunity

Mike’s Hot Honey is growing across every channel — retail, foodservice, and commercial — and with that growth comes expanding volume of customer setup requests. Buyers want spec sheets. Distributors need COAs. Ingredient customers require detailed allergen and nutritional documentation. Food service operators need technical support before they put products on a menu.

This role exists to own that entire landscape. The FSQA Onboarding Manager is the connective tissue between our FSQA program, commercial teams and customers. You will manage the intake, execution, and delivery of customer-facing technical documentation — with the precision of a food scientist and the responsiveness of a great account manager.

This is not only a back-office role. You will work directly with sales and at times sit with customers — translating complex specification requirements into clear, concise answers. The right person is equally comfortable managing a compliance checklist and building rapport with buyers who need extra attention.

What You’ll Own :

Customer Setup & Documentation 

  • Serve as primary point of contact for inbound customer setup requests across all channels.
  • Delivery of customer-required documentation: product specification sheets, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), allergen declarations, nutritional profiles, HACCP documentation, third-party audits, etc.
  • Manage portals and compliance systems ensuring submissions are accurate, complete, and timely.
  • Work with Director of FSQA to Maintain a master library of approved, version-controlled documents for all active SKUs, updated in real time as information changes.

Cross-Functional & Sales Partnership 

  • Partner with the Sales team as a trusted resource — joining customer calls and providing timely support for technical questions or compliance requirements.
  • Translate retailer and customer requirements into clear action items, coordinating with FSQA, Operations, and co-manufacturers to gather the information needed to fulfil requests.
  • Keep Sales informed of the status of open setup requests, flagging blocks proactively so opportunities are never held up by documentation delays.
  • Assist Director of FSQA/RD with documentation, reporting, site visits, and other daily FSQA/RD activities.

Customer-Facing Technical Support 

  • Serve as a knowledgeable and personable representative of Mike’s Hot Honey’s FSQA program.
  • Support Foodservice and ingredient customers with onboarding needs, including facility and item questionnaires, supplier approval processes, and product qualification reviews.
  • Attend customer meetings or site visits where a FSQA representative is required or requested.
  • Handle customer complaints with professionalism, gathering the relevant documentation and coordinating corrective action communication.

Quality Systems & Compliance 

  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of regulatory requirements relevant to each channel: FDA labelling, SQF, USDA organic documentation (as applicable), and state-level compliance requirements.
  • Support the FSQA team in maintaining and updating documentation — particularly as it relates to supplier and partner documentation, annual questionnaires, and spec management.
  • Coordinate documentation renewals of our network information annually for all relevant items such as third-party audits, certifications, and MHH created questionnaires
  • Identify inefficiencies in customer setup process and propose improvements to reduce turnaround time and error rates.
     

What You'll Bring:

Experience

  • 1-3 years of experience in food safety, quality assurance, or regulatory affairs within a food or beverage company; GFSI and PCQI experience is a plus.
  • Bachelors Degree in Food Science, Food Safety/Quality Management, or similar.
  • Direct experience managing customer-facing documentation requests across one or more of the following: retail, food service, ingredient supply, or commercial.
  • Familiarity with supplier portals (e.g. 1WorldSync, Tracegains, FoodLogic, or similar).
  • Working knowledge of FDA regulations, GFSI Standards, FSMA, and other industry standards.
  • Experience reading and interpreting COAs, spec sheets, and technical food safety documentation.
  • Prior experience in a small-to-mid-size CPG environment is a strong plus — this role requires independence and resourcefulness.

Skills & Attributes

  • Organized with systematic approach to tracking requests, deadlines, and documentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communicator.
  • Professional in customer-facing settings, including meetings where you may be the only FSQA rep.
  • Relationship-oriented: you understand that customer setup is a commercial touchpoint, not just a compliance exercise, and you treat it accordingly.
  • Proactive and solutions-driven — when a customer has an unusual requirement or a request doesn't fit the standard process, you find a path forward rather than waiting for direction.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally, building trust with sales, operations, and co-manufacturing partners simultaneously.
  • Exhaustive attention to detail — documentation errors in this role have real commercial consequences.

The Opportunity

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who believes great financial analysis is more than accurate numbers — it's a tool for better decisions. You'll manage and evolve our financial reporting infrastructure, building the dashboards, models, and KPI frameworks that leadership relies on to nimbly run the business.

You'll work closely with senior leadership, translating complex financial data into clear, compelling narratives that drive action. If you've spent time in consulting, private equity, banking, or a fast-moving CPG environment and you're ready for a role where your work is seen, used, and valued — this is it.

What You'll Own

  • Own and continuously improve the company's financial reporting structure — monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting packages that are accurate, insightful, and built for a leadership audience.
  • Design and maintain dynamic KPI dashboards that bring the business to life visually — tracking performance across revenue, margin, channel, and operational metrics in real time.
  • Build and manage financial models that support budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, and strategic decision-making as the business scales.
  • Partner with department heads and cross-functional teams to gather inputs, understand business drivers, and ensure financial reporting reflects operational reality.
  • Identify trends, variances, and opportunities in the data — and package those findings in a way that's clear, actionable, and compelling to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Support ad hoc analysis for leadership and the board, including investor materials, strategic initiatives, and business performance reviews.
  • Evaluate and implement tools or process improvements that raise the quality and efficiency of the finance function over time.

What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years of relevant financial experience — with meaningful time in consulting, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or a high-growth CPG or consumer brand.
  • 4-year bachelor’s degree with a focus on Accounting or similar.
  • Exceptional financial modeling skills — you build models that are clean, flexible, and are actually used by the people you build them for.
  • A sharp visual instinct for data presentation — you know the difference between a spreadsheet and a story, and you consistently deliver the latter.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present financial analysis to senior leadership clearly and with confidence.
  • High attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture — you can get deep in the numbers and still surface the insight that matters.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where the work evolves quickly.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with ERP or financial planning software (NetSuite, Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, or similar).
  • Background in CPG, food & beverage, or consumer goods — familiarity with trade spend, retail margins, and channel economics.
  • Exposure to board reporting or investor relations at a growth-stage company.
  • Advanced proficiency in the tools that make analysis sing: Excel/Google Sheets at an expert level, and fluency in at least one data visualization or BI platform (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar).
