Quality Manager - Aisti Corporation Oy

Would you like to build quality from the ground up rather than just maintain it? Aisti is currently building a new generation of biobased acoustic panel production in Finland. We are now looking for a Quality Manager who wants to be involved in developing quality operational models, practices, and culture in an expanding international industrial environment. With us, you will not be working within a ready-made system; you will build it together with the rest of the organization. What will your work look like? You will lead the company's quality function and work closely with production, product development, and procurement. You will develop and implement practical quality management systems (QMS), ensure compliance with customer and standard requirements, and help prevent errors proactively. Your work will be a mix of development and daily operations: setting directions and processes, as well as resolving concrete quality deviations with teams.

The position involves some travel. Our value is exceptional. This means a desire to do things exceptionally—not just very well, but to make things work, even if the approach differs from previous methods. It also means a continuous desire to develop as an individual, team member, and company. We openly share the realities of work: not everything is ready, and it won't be immediately. There will be situations where quick solutions are needed in unfinished settings. In these moments, collaboration, practicality, and the ability to prioritize correctly are emphasized. What do we expect from you? - Suitable higher education degree - Experience in quality management in a production environment and understanding of quality systems (e.g., ISO 9001) and audits - Willingness to build new things and operate in an unfinished environment - Good collaboration and communication skills, fluent in Finnish and English. Advantages include: - Experience with multiple locations or growing organizations' quality - Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methods - Experience with supplier quality, customer complaints, certifications, or audits.
