A unique opportunity with operational breadth across all functions tasked with managing the entirety of the Quality Assurance system in line with TLD Quality Policy.

The QAM establishes and enforces all required processes to improve our product from a quality, reliability, and continuous improvement point of view.

This is an exciting role with accountability and impact across all operational functions. It requires a personality that can influence and collaborate with the Steering Committee members; someone who can interpret and interrogate data, turn into tangible actions, and align the team through “setting the scene” to deliver a world class quality proposition whilst developing strong relationships.

• Supervise the Quality Assurance team and maintain quality standards throughout the build and Green Tag (Quality Inspection) processes whilst “closing the loop” from in-service warranty claims ensuring there is full alignment to what is happening in the market and the overarching quality proposition.
• Manage the First Article Inspection including controlling all incoming inspection, warehouse picking inspection, assembly line self-inspection, and adjustment and testing routines. Strong management of cross-functional activities to the Group guidelines.
• Supplier Quality Management whilst leading formal and informal audits of suppliers, perform supplier evaluation, and follow up improvement projects with the Supply Chain Department.
• Management of the Quality Management System and all associated Controlled Documents, Processes, and corrective-preventative actions. The QAM also facilitates the process for ISO
  9001 certification and internal/ external audits whilst engaging the Steering Committee on all aspects of ISO
  9001.
• A true Quality Advocate who demonstrates a hands‑on attitude and can implement change across a multitude of functions, influencing with authority, whilst aligning all departments with the shared commitment. At TLD, we stand behind our customers, products and services: responsibility, support, support and continuous improvement and the key words which drive and work and attitude.

• The QAM establishes and enforces all required processes to improve our product and support from a quality, reliability, and continuous improvement point of view.
• CAPEX submission for quality tooling, etc. The QAM also is tasked with developing the department’s annual budget.
• Lead formal and informal audits of all materials, processes, products and systems as needed.
• Ensuring the quality proposition is known, clear and communicable with all resources aligned to the current market perspective. The QAM is a key role that, with the COO, supports and drives the direction of the business and product’s quality.
