- Conducting and overseeing quality reviews across customer interactions.
- Managing complaint investigations and ensuring fair, timely and customer-focused resolutions.
- Monitoring customer outcomes and identifying trends, risks and improvement opportunities.
- Producing quality, complaints and performance reporting for leadership teams.
- Working closely with Compliance to ensure FCA requirements and Treating Customers Fairly principles are embedded throughout the customer journey.
- Supporting Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) case preparation and responses.
- Driving root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions to improve customer experience.
- Coaching and developing operational teams through structured feedback and quality insights.
- Acting as a key stakeholder across Customer Care, Operations and Compliance functions.

You'll bring:
- Previous experience leading or managing a Quality Assurance function with a contact centre environment.
- Strong experience within an FCA-regulated environment.

- Deep understanding of quality monitoring, auditing and calibration processes.
- Strong knowledge of Consumer Duty, Treating Customers Fairly and regulatory requirements.
- Experience producing meaningful MI, reporting and performance insights.
- Excellent coaching, stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Analytical thinking and the ability to identify trends, risks and improvement opportunities.
- A proactive approach with the confidence to challenge, influence and drive change.
This is an opportunity to shape and influence quality standards within a business that's investing heavily in customer experience, technology and operational excellence.
