The role

The team is at the forefront of driving up standards, providing confidence to our key stakeholders in our regulatory activities.

You will engage with senior stakeholders to build an understanding of requirements to build into the design and delivery of quality assurance activities. You will lead on identifying areas of efficiency and improvement including developing recommendations for operational teams.

In addition, there are opportunities to undertake thematic work and provide consultancy services to other areas across the organisation to support with the development of QA frameworks.

You will need strong analytical, judgment and communication skills.
