Quality Assurance Manager
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have location and pay rate given. Also job summary, responsibilities, qualifications, working conditions, about us, what we offer (benefits). We need to map content to sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
We need to include Pay section because pay rate given: $114k - $130k annually based on experience. That's specific, not placeholder. So include Pay
with
. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit. Benefits: we have "What We Offer:" list includes Competitive pay (but we already have pay), Health/Dental/Vision plans, 401k company match, Life Insurance, Short Term Disability & Long-Term Disability, Educational Assistance, Employee Assistance Plan. That's benefits. So include
Benefits
with- .
About the role: we have Job Summary paragraph. Could be "About the role". Use
About the role
withcontaining job summary. Responsibilities: we have Primary Duties & Responsibilities (long list). Also Other Duties & Responsibilities. Combine into responsibilities section. Use
- for each duty.
Requirements/Qualifications: we have Qualifications/Requirements section with bullet-like sentences. Could be Requirements heading. Use
- .
Skills: maybe not separate; we could embed in qualifications. But we could create Skills section if there are explicit skills listed: leadership, CAPA, root cause, etc. However we can keep qualifications.
We also have Working Conditions: could be a section? Not in allowed headings list but we could maybe put under Responsibilities? Not ideal. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Working Conditions not listed; we could omit or incorporate into Responsibilities? Probably better to omit as not requested. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop working conditions if it's substantive. However instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And we must only use those headings. If we cannot fit working conditions into any of those headings, maybe we can include it under Responsibilities as a paragraph? But it's not a duty. Could be part of About the role? Might be okay to add a
under About the role after job summary. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can add a paragraph under About the role describing working conditions. That seems acceptable. Similarly "About Us" and "What We Offer" we already captured benefits; About Us could be part of About the role? Might be okay to add a paragraph under About the role describing company. But we already have About the role for job summary; we could add another paragraph after. We must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details. Let's extract details. Job Summary paragraph: "The QA Manager is responsible for assuring that all products produced by Adams manufacturing facility meet the product specifications. Responsible for determining if products conform to the corporate goal of consistent product quality and for maintaining and assuring completion of quality goals appropriate to the marketplace and regulatory bodies, specifically, (1) directing the activities of all plant Quality Assurance personnel either directly or through their direct reports; (2) auditing internal and external suppliers and quality programs; (3) Lead ISO standards (4) Ensures the processing of customer complaints and customer specifications; (5) works cooperatively with customers and direct reports as a liaison between the customer and plant personnel to help define customer needs and spearhead the investigation and ensuring the implementation of corrective actions related to customer concerns and corrective action requests, and (6) ability to provide strategic direction to align with Performance Minerals and MTI goals; (7) performing other related duties as required." We'll keep that as a paragraph. Primary Duties & Responsibilities list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll convert each sentence to
- . Other Duties & Responsibilities: "Other duties as assigned Note: Management reserves the right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time." We'll include as li maybe. Qualifications/Requirements: list of sentences. We'll convert each to
- .
Working Conditions: paragraph describing typical requirements, frequent basis exposures, etc. We'll include as
under About the role maybe after job summary. About Us: paragraph about Minerals Technologies Inc. We'll include as
under About the role after working conditions maybe. What We Offer: benefits list. We'll create Benefits section. Pay: we have location and pay rate. Location: "On-site in Adams, MA". Could be included in About the role? Might be better to include location in a short paragraph maybe under About the role. But location is not a heading; we can include as
under About the role. Pay Rate: $114k - $130k annually based on experience. Thus About the role section will contain multiple paragraphs: location, pay? Actually pay is separate section. We'll keep pay separate. Thus About the role: location paragraph, job summary paragraph, working conditions paragraph, About Us paragraph. Responsibilities: combine primary duties and other duties. Requirements: qualifications list. Benefits: list. Pay: paragraph. We must not include Schedule. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any boilerplate: "Note: Management reserves the right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time." That's part of other duties; we keep. Check for any duplicated lines: we need to avoid repeating same content. Ensure each duty appears once. Let's extract duties list precisely. Primary Duties & Responsibilities (as given): - Supervises QA personnel, and administers performance reviews. - Leads ISO compliance standards and maintains proper documentation. - Reviews and ensures the Quality Management Systems are in compliance with ISO regulations and company standards. - Pro-actively maintains compliance with FDA and other worldwide pharmacopeia programs (where applicable) including but not limited to maintaining cGMP compliance, HACCP program, facility registration with FDA and ISO 21000 and other pertinent food defense programs. - Maintains a Quality Assurance (QA) program that meets the needs of both company and customer specifications and standards. - Approves purchases of laboratory and capital equipment within established limits.

Other Duties & Responsibilities: - Other duties as assigned - Note: Management reserves the right to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time. We'll combine. Now Qualifications/Requirements list: - Bachelor’s degree in a scientific or engineering field — Common majors include Quality Assurance, Engineering, Food Science, Microbiology, or related disciplines. - Advanced training in FDA QMSR / ISO 9001 — Professionals often complete specialized FDA and ISO 9001 training programs to understand regulatory alignment and inspection expectations. - Certifications (beneficial but not always required) - Certified Quality Auditor (CQA) - Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) - Internal/Lead Auditor credentials - 5–10+ years of QA/QC experience in regulated manufacturing require QA experience in FDA‑regulated or ISO‑certified environments. - Experience with FDA 21 CFR — Managers must understand and maintain compliance with FDA’s Quality Management System Regulation, including design controls, CAPA, complaint handling, and production controls. - ISO 9001 Quality Management System experience includes internal audits, supplier audits, document control, and risk management. - Experience hosting or supporting FDA and ISO audits require experience preparing for and participating in FDA inspections and ISO 9001, FSSC audits. - Leadership experience — Supervising QA teams, inspectors, or cross‑functional groups is required. - Strong CAPA, root‑cause analysis, and nonconformance management skills — Essential for maintaining compliance and driving continuous improvement. - Experience with supplier quality and external audits. We'll convert each bullet to
- . For the certifications sub-bullets, we could nest
- inside
- or just list them as separate
- . Simpler: list each as separate
- . We'll keep the hierarchy minimal. Now Benefits list: - Competitive pay, commensurate with experience - Health/Dental/Vision plans - 401k company match - Life Insurance - Short Term Disability & Long-Term Disability - Educational Assistance - Employee Assistance Plan But note we already have Pay section separate; we might still include Competitive pay in benefits but it's redundant. Could keep but maybe we should not duplicate. Since we have Pay section, we could omit Competitive pay from benefits list to avoid duplication. However the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. If we omit Competitive pay from benefits, we are still preserving it in Pay section. That's fine; we are not losing info. So benefits list will exclude Competitive pay. Now About Us paragraph: "Minerals Technologies Inc. is a global, technology-driven specialty minerals company that develops, produces, and markets a wide range of minerals and mineral-based products and services. Our products are an essential part of everyday life for millions of people around the world.

Let's craft Working Conditions paragraph: "While performing the duties of this job, the employee is typically required to have the ability to work in an office environment, using office equipment as needed, read,
- .
Skills: maybe not separate; we could embed in qualifications. But we could create Skills section if there are explicit skills listed: leadership, CAPA, root cause, etc. However we can keep qualifications.
We also have Working Conditions: could be a section? Not in allowed headings list but we could maybe put under Responsibilities? Not ideal. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Working Conditions not listed; we could omit or incorporate into Responsibilities? Probably better to omit as not requested. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop working conditions if it's substantive. However instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And we must only use those headings. If we cannot fit working conditions into any of those headings, maybe we can include it under Responsibilities as a paragraph? But it's not a duty. Could be part of About the role? Might be okay to add a
- for each duty.
Requirements/Qualifications: we have Qualifications/Requirements section with bullet-like sentences. Could be Requirements heading. Use
