Hybrid working with a regular onsite presence

The chance to influence at the highest levels in a newly created role.

You are currently working in a high profile, policy rich sector at strategic level and want an opportunity to really steer policy and public affairs the way you know will get results.

Positive leadership behaviours are at the core of your management style, as well as challenging the status quo and advocating high quality personal and continuous improvement.

You really understand and navigate the strategic and public affairs landscape, not only writing reports and organising events.

Having worked in a highly regulated or government environment, you will understand what is required to transform and enhance reputations through inspirational and innovative external engagement.

Surrounded by a diverse range of passionate individuals, you will have a leadership team that will believe in you and want you to succeed.

What’s in it for you?
• AQA has great potential to influence the policy landscape of education and you will play a key role in that, building on existing progress.
• You’ll have exceptional networking opportunities and the backing you need to host exciting external events, as well as the autonomy to make decisions.
• Reporting directly into the Senior Leadership team in our Corporate Affairs and Strategy directorate, specifically Reza Schwitzer, Head of External Affairs, you will have tangible input into AQA’s strategic decision making.

You will have access from day one to an incredibly generous pension scheme with employer contributions jointly totalling up to 18.5%, BUPA and 25 days annual leave allowance with Bank Holidays and 4 extra closure days at Christmas on top.

Your key success measures:
• Successfully position AQA as the leading assessment organisation that delivers today and defines tomorrow.
• Produce high quality policy analysis and engage effectively with government and other education stakeholders.
• Create a high performing team who plan and work collaboratively to the benefit of AQA.
