Operations Manager
This is not an exams specialist role. We are seeking an inspiring people leader with a proven track record of developing high-performing teams, driving operational excellence, and creating a positive, collaborative culture.
As Operations Manager, you will lead, develop, and support the College's Exams team, ensuring the delivery of a professional, responsive, and customer-focused service to students, staff, and external stakeholders. Working closely with colleagues across the College, you will build strong relationships, champion continuous improvement, and help shape the future of the service.
Previous examinations experience is not required. The successful candidate will work alongside an experienced Exams Specialist Consultant for a significant period, receiving dedicated support and mentoring while developing the specialist knowledge needed for the role. This allows you to focus on leading the team from day one while building your understanding of the examinations landscape.
