Purpose of the role
This isn't a role where you'll inherit mature processes and simply maintain them.
You'll help define what good looks like. Working closely with the newly appointed Head of Qualification Quality, you'll help establish and embed quality approaches, governance processes and assurance frameworks that will shape qualification development across AQA.
In this role, you'll be responsible for:
- Build and shape quality assurance processes from the ground up
- Design and embed quality frameworks, governance processes and audit approaches
- Support accreditation submissions and regulatory engagement activities
- Influence qualification development across multiple subject areas
- Work with senior stakeholders across the business to embed best practice
- Identify opportunities to improve quality, consistency and compliance
- Leave a lasting impact on how qualification quality is managed at AQA
What's in it for you?
The qualifications you support will directly influence the experience of learners across the UK.
You'll have the opportunity to shape how quality is embedded across qualification development, helping to establish the standards, controls and governance processes that others rely upon.
You'll be joining at a time when qualification reform is creating a rare opportunity to build and embed new approaches to quality assurance, accreditation readiness and continuous improvement across the organisation.
You'll thrive in this role if you have:
- Experience building or improving quality assurance frameworks
- Experience working within regulated environments
- Experience of audit, compliance, governance or assurance activities
- Experience managing complex documentation, audit trails or version control processes
- The ability to identify risks, inconsistencies and opportunities for improvement
- Experience influencing stakeholders and embedding new ways of working
- Experience working across complex, cross-organisational processes involving multiple stakeholders, dependencies and competing priorities, with the resilience to work through ambiguity and the confidence to challenge constructively when needed.
We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have:
- Brought structure to complex environments
- Introduced best practice and developed sustainable quality processes that others rely upon
- Experience in quality assurance, governance, audit, accreditation, compliance, process improvement or another regulated environment where attention to detail, quality oversight and continuous improvement are critical.
What's Next?
