Quality Control Supervisor

IHC Investments, Inc. / The Hemp Collect

Canton, NC (On-site)

Full-time | $55,000–$70,000/year DOE + Quarterly Bonus

About Us

The Hemp Collect / Modern Herb Co is a fast-growing hemp-derived product manufacturer producing inhalables, edibles, and topicals across multiple brands. We are consolidating operations to our North Carolina facility and building the team that will run it. This is a ground-floor opportunity to own QC for a scaling operation.

The Role

You own quality control — period. From the moment raw materials hit our dock to the moment finished product ships, you are the sign-off authority. You'll build and enforce QC systems across intake, production, packaging, and fulfillment while coordinating with our inventory team on intake support and our lab team on in-process checkpoints.

This is a combined QC + intake oversight role. Our inventory specialists handle the physical receiving and staging. You own the standards, testing, sign-off, and reject authority.

What You'll Do

Sampling, Testing & Release Control:

- Develop and execute sampling plans for raw materials, in-process batches, and finished goods

- Review, approve, or reject materials based on internal specs and Certificates of Analysis (COAs)

- Own product quarantine, hold, rejection, and release authorization

- Escalate out-of-spec results and lead investigations and corrective actions

Intake QC Oversight:

- Oversee intake QC for production oils, isolates, cannabinoids, terpenes, and packaging components

- Coordinate with co-manufacturers to ensure inputs are sent, received, and documented correctly

Production & Packaging QC:

- Ensure QC procedures are embedded at every stage of production and packaging

- Conduct in-process QC checks to verify SOP adherence and spec compliance

- Maintain batch integrity documentation

Fulfillment & Shipping QC:

- Oversee final QC checks before shipment

Inventory & Traceability:

- Maintain lot-level traceability from intake through shipment

- Conduct random weekly QC audits comparing physical inventory to system records

- Coordinate weekly extract inventory cycle counts with the inventory team

- Investigate discrepancies and drive resolution

SOPs & Compliance:

- Develop, maintain, and continuously improve QC SOPs, forms, and records

- Maintain audit-ready documentation at all times

- Lead deviation investigations and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) processes

- Ensure compliance with cGMP-style standards
