The Role
Pacific Seeds is looking for a Quality Manager who thrives at the intersection of science, strategy, and people. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll oversee the Quality Assurance function, shape operational processes, and make the final call on stock release. You’ll also work closely with R&D, Sales, Supply Chain, and Customer Service, making sure the right information flows at the right time, every time.
Here's where you’ll make your mark:
- Lead a high-performing Quality team.
- Oversee QA processes and seed technology research to ensure efficiency, compliance, and timely product release.
- Safeguard seed quality and integrity through audits, genetic purity testing, and GM/non-GM assessments.
- Drive continuous improvement and align local systems with their global quality framework.
About You
You’re ready to take the reins of a critical function and make a tangible difference.
You’ll bring:
- Hands-on experience in production agriculture, ideally within the seed sector, with strong knowledge of seed quality and analysis.
- A solid understanding of plant science and its application in QC testing programs.
- Proven leadership: someone who can inspire a team, make tough calls, and deliver operational excellence
- Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively across multiple stakeholders.
- Confidence and ease working with everyone from field staff to executives.
- Experience with GM and non-GM crops, hybrid seed programs, and quality protocols is highly desirable.
This isn’t just a Quality Manager role. This is your chance to run a function where the decisions you make matter. You’ll have the autonomy to set the standard, the support of a global network, and the scope to grow your influence beyond Toowoomba. If you’re ready to shape outcomes at scale, this is where your work is noticed - and valued.
If you’re looking for variety, challenge, and the satisfaction of seeing your decisions make a real-world impact, this is the role for you.
