Quality Control I (2Nd Shift)

MOO is all about making great design available to everyone. We do that by producing premium print and branded merchandise. But it's as much about how we do it, leading with design, technology and sustainability.

Founded in 2004, we've come this far by being obsessed with the happiness of our customers. Along the way, we've built an award-winning and much-loved brand, with exceptional customer satisfaction and Trustpilot ratings. Those customers are typically small and medium-sized businesses based in North America, the UK, and Europe - businesses that, like us, value design and see the brand-building power of putting something real in people's hands.

We've received the highest business award in Britain, 'The Queen's Award for Enterprise'. Part of Tech Nation's 'Future Fifty', we've been profiled in the Financial Times, and ranked in the Guardian's top 10 UK start-ups.

Today we are over 350 people, headquartered in the UK but with many of our people based in the USA and South Africa.

You will be an essential part of the Quality and Engineering Team. Our purpose is to proactively safeguard the quality of MOO's production, ensuring our print and digital products consistently meet high standards. We drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize processes, significantly reduce waste, and ultimately provide an exceptional customer experience. We are a multidisciplinary team focused on precision, problem-solving, and process excellence.

We are hiring now to strengthen our quality focus as we scale our production and introduce new, exciting products.

You are a proactive and meticulous individual with a strong foundation in quality assurance principles. You thrive in a dynamic manufacturing environment and can efficiently manage multiple priorities under pressure. You have a natural curiosity and an investigative approach to problem-solving, always looking to understand the 'why' behind an issue rather than just fixing the symptom.
