Director of Current Supplier Quality
Every Aston Martin that leaves our production lines represents thousands of individual components coming together to create something extraordinary. Behind that is a relentless focus on quality, and we're looking for a leader who can ensure our suppliers consistently deliver to the standards our customers expect.
As Director of Current Supplier Quality, you'll report directly to the Quality Director and lead a large, highly skilled team responsible for managing supplier quality performance across our current vehicle portfolio. This is a role with significant visibility and influence, sitting at the centre of manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, supply chain and quality operations.
When supplier quality issues arise, your team will be the first line of defence, working at pace to protect production, minimise disruption and drive permanent corrective actions. You'll oversee everything from supplier investigations and root cause analysis through to cost recovery, warranty concerns, supplier development and long-term quality improvement.
You'll play a key role in shaping supplier strategy, using performance data and operational insight to support sourcing decisions and supplier selection. As a member of executive sourcing discussions, you'll help determine which suppliers are best positioned to support the future of Aston Martin.
This isn't a role focused solely on problem solving. It's about building capability and driving continuous improvement across our global supply base. You'll lead teams responsible for supplier development, support resourcing activities where supplier risk exists, and ensure quality, cost and delivery objectives remain aligned across the business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also work closely with manufacturing operations, supporting production reviews and ensuring any issues identified on the line are quickly contained and resolved. At the same time, you'll make sure lessons learned are captured and fed back into future vehicle programmes, helping prevent issues from being repeated through design reviews, engineering standards and vehicle development activities.
Requirements
The successful candidate will be an experienced automotive leader with a proven track record of managing large, multi-disciplinary teams and delivering results in complex manufacturing environments. You'll be comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, presenting at executive level and making decisions that balance quality, customer experience, operational performance and commercial impact.
You'll be someone who naturally builds strong relationships, whether that's with suppliers, engineering teams, production operations or executive leadership. You'll bring a practical approach to problem solving, a passion for continuous improvement and the credibility to lead through both challenge and change.
Given the global nature of our supplier network, you'll be comfortable travelling within the UK and internationally when required, supporting investigations, supplier development activities and manufacturing operations across Aston Martin's sites.
