  • Develop procedures and processes to drive efficiencies in the work of the team.
  • Develop systems and processes to increase operational efficiency including the use of Workday.
  • Advise on exam results and recommendations in respect of those who have failed.
  • Work closely with colleagues in the HR team to provide support to the Partners and the students.
  • Liaise with external training providers on courses and syllabus developments.
  • Help to assess the impact of all syllabus changes on the firm’s professional qualifications strategy and support the communication of the impact to our partners and staff.
  • Manage and develop the professional qualifications team including the performance management of two direct reports.
  • Help ensure that the firm’s professional qualifications policies are driven by business needs and sound commercial principles and working with the business to support as appropriate.
  • Act as Deputy QPRT including signing training contracts and new counsellor forms.

You'll be someone with:

  • Strong interpersonal, communication and presentation skills.
  • First class organisational skills.
  • The ability to gain confidence of partners and peers and build strong relationships with colleagues and external bodies.
  • The ability to challenge the status quo, as appropriate, and drive the use of best practice to deliver improvement and development in the firm’s systems.
