Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.
As a Senior Operational Quality Specialist, you serve as the definitive process
owner for a critical domain of the business, such as risk, engagement, transitions
or completion. You move beyond the execution of day-to-day tasks to take
responsibility for the end-to-end integrity, health, and scalability of our most
complex operational workflows.
In this role, you act as a driver rather than a passenger. You do not just identify
gaps; you own the solution, the accountability, and the long-term roadmap for your
domain. You serve as a trusted thought partner to senior leaders and internal
Product teams and translate high-level business strategy into robust, scalable
systems that ensure consistent learner outcomes. You are a subject matter expert
who solves ambiguous problems without clear precedent, ensuring our operations
evolve from early development to established stability.
Core mandates
- Process ownership and strategy: You codify processes and define the single
source of truth to ensure every workflow is documented, current, and scalable.
- Quality assurance and adoption: You drive adoption by establishing clear
metrics and conducting hands-on quality reviews to ensure tools deliver
genuine value.
- Operational resilience and risk management: You identify single points of
failure and build resilience through cross-training and auditing backend
processes to protect institutional knowledge.
- AI and innovation: You leverage AI and work with AI product teams to remove
manual steps and backend admin, ensuring our human talent focuses on
high-value work.
Key responsibilities
- Own the domain health: You manage the health of your domain across key
pillars including process, source of truth, and stakeholder engagement.
- Drive decision making in ambiguity: You analyse complex problems and make
bold, evidence-based recommendations to Senior Managers to balance
short-term fixes with strategic benefits.
- Stakeholder partnership: You influence the roadmap and facilitate difficult
conversations to build trust through clear, crisp communication with functional
leads.
- Data-driven accountability: You own the metrics for your process, ensuring
data hygiene and building dashboards that enable functional teams to make
decisions.
- Force multiplier: You mentor peers and share specialised knowledge to elevate
the collective capability of the team and break down silos.
Success metrics
- Operational maturity: You demonstrate sustained movement of your domain
pillars from at-risk to healthy.
- Adoption and compliance: You achieve high adherence to standard operating
procedures across user groups, evidenced by auditable data rather than
anecdotal feedback.
- Stakeholder trust: You clarify ambiguity and deliver reliable solutions, through
close collaboration with stakeholders
- Resilience: You eliminate single points of failure within your domain through
comprehensive documentation and peer cross-training.
About you
Essential
- Experience: You have 36 years in operations, process improvement, or
quality assurance, ideally within a scaling or education environment.
- Process ownership: You shift effortlessly from owning the end-to-end lifecycle
of a process to reviewing the tools we use to implement them, ensuring it lands
and sticks with the end user.
- Data fluency: You are comfortable working with complex data sets to identify
trends and can confidently scope dashboard requirements for data teams.
- Courageous communication: You can deliver factual, non-judgmental updates
on critical issues to senior leadership.
- Strategic prioritisation: You can discern large strategic blockers from small
administrative tasks, ruthlessly prioritising high-impact work over low-value
noise.
- Stakeholder mapping: You have experience mapping key stakeholders and can
autonomously manage those stakeholder relationships.
- Knowledge management: You have experience generating SOPs, updating
documentation and can create informative, instructive and engaging content to drive adoption of those processes.
Desirable
- Sector knowledge: You have an understanding of apprenticeship funding rules
or similar regulatory frameworks that underpin our operations.
- Change management: You have experience migrating knowledge bases and
managing the cultural shift required for new tool adoption.
- User-centric design: You can design workflows that empathy-map the user
journey, ensuring processes reduce rather than add to the cognitive load of
users.
Technical requirements and capabilities
- Data visualisation and SQL: You have proficiency in reading and writing SQL to
query data directly and experience building actionable dashboards in tools like
Metabase to surface insights for our Delivery teams.
- AI and prompt engineering: You demonstrate the ability to use LLMs like
Gemini to analyse unstructured data and generate senior-level reports or
content.
- Knowledge management: You have expertise in structuring and maintaining a
source of truth in platforms like Guru or Coda, ensuring discoverability and
accuracy.
- Low-code automation: You are competent in using tools like Zapier or Make to
visualise and connect disparate systems and automate manual workflows
without heavy engineering lift.
