Are you an experienced quality assurance professional and people leader, with significant expertise in complex case analysis and driving continuous improvement?
We are seeking a Lead Quality Assurance Manager to join our Quality Assurance (QA) team in a newly created role. Reporting to the Head of Quality Assurance, you will lead and develop a QA team of four to five Quality Assurance Managers and Quality Assurance Advisors, ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality assurance activity across the organisation.
The role
The QA team sits at the forefront of driving up standards and providing confidence to our key stakeholders in the delivery of our regulatory activities.
As Lead Quality Assurance Manager, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of the organisation's quality assurance programme, ensuring activities are delivered on time, to agreed quality standards, and aligned to business objectives across complex operational areas.
You will work closely with senior stakeholders to design, oversee and continuously improve quality assurance plans. You will also support the Head of Quality Assurance in the ongoing development of the QA strategy and the Quality Management System, helping to embed consistency, efficiency and best practice across the organisation.
This is an exciting time to join the team as we continue to measure the success of a large-scale Continuous Improvement Programme within our Investigation and Enforcement Directorate and further strengthen our approach to quality and regulation.
