Full job description

Starting Salary: £41,666 per annum

Job Type: Permanent

Working pattern: 35 hours per week. Monday-Thursday in our Head Office in Lancaster, work from home on Fridays (flexible working options will be considered)

Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same? Are you passionate about qualifications, assessment, quality, and continuous improvement? If so, we'd love to hear from you.

We are looking for a proactive and collaborative Senior Product Development Manager to join our Product Development team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who combines strong operational and leadership skills with a genuine passion for supporting people, improving processes, and delivering high-quality qualifications and assessments.

Whilst experience of qualifications, assessment, awarding, education, or other regulated environments will be highly valued, we are equally interested in individuals who bring curiosity, adaptability, sound judgement, and a willingness to learn. We recognise that great candidates may come from a variety of backgrounds and encourage applications from those who can demonstrate transferable experience and the ability to navigate complex, quality-driven environments.

About the role

You'll play a key role in leading the development, review, and delivery of qualifications and assessments, ensuring they remain relevant, compliant, and fit for purpose. You'll help shape efficient systems and processes, drive continuous improvement, and work closely with colleagues across the organisation to deliver excellent outcomes for customers and learners.

Just as importantly, you'll provide line management, mentoring, and coaching to a team of talented, high-performing colleagues. You'll support their development, remove barriers, encourage innovation, and help create an environment where people can do their best work.

We're looking for someone who:

Has experience within qualifications, assessment, education, awarding, compliance, quality assurance, or another regulated environment.
Is adaptable, resilient, and comfortable managing competing priorities and projects.
Enjoys solving problems and finding practical ways to improve systems and processes.
Can confidently lead, mentor, coach, and support others.
Builds positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
Takes ownership, shows initiative, and brings a proactive mindset.
Is committed to quality, continuous improvement, and delivering excellent outcomes.
Is keen to learn, develop, and embrace new approaches and technologies.

What you'll find here

You'll be joining a friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable team that values collaboration, openness, and continuous learning. We believe in empowering our people, sharing expertise, and giving colleagues the support they need to succeed.

This is a role that offers variety, challenge, and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the future development of qualifications and assessment.

Interested?

To apply, please submit:

Your current CV
A covering letter outlining your suitability for the role and how your skills, experience and approach align with the requirements of the position

We encourage applications from individuals with experience in qualifications, assessment, education, awarding, quality assurance, compliance or other regulated environments, as well as those who can demonstrate strong leadership, adaptability and a commitment to continuous learning.

Closing date: 14 September 2026 12pm

Interviews will be held on a rolling basis as applications are reviewed, and the vacancy may close once a suitable candidate has been appointed. Early applications are therefore encouraged.

For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Samantha Whiteley ([email protected]) or Jack Wilcock ([email protected]). We would be delighted to answer any questions and help you decide whether this could be the right opportunity for you.

We value our people for the differences they bring to the table and believe this diversity is powerful. We are an equal opportunities employer, and we are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.
