Quality is about more than compliance. It is about building customer confidence, preventing problems before they happen and making sure that, when things do go wrong, we respond quickly, learn from them and prevent them from happening again.

As Quality and Customer Assurance Director, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Quality across Scottish Leather Group. You’ll lead the transformation of Quality from a predominantly technical and compliance-led function into a customer confidence and business performance system.

Working across our operations and with customers, suppliers and senior leaders, you’ll establish a clear Group-wide approach to quality, strengthen prevention and ensure quality is designed into our products, processes and launches from the outset. You’ll also be the senior quality lead when major customer issues arise, bringing clarity, pace and sound judgement when it matters most.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines strong technical credibility with commercial judgement, customer focus and the ability to influence change across a complex manufacturing environment.

• Strengthen supplier quality alongside Procurement and relevant technical teams.

• Lead, coach and develop our Quality and Laboratory teams while building quality capability and accountability across the wider business.

You’re someone who sees quality differently.

You understand that Quality cannot simply inspect problems out at the end of a process. You focus on prevention, strong processes and clear accountability. You know how to protect the customer quickly while establishing the facts, determining responsibility fairly and making decisions that support long-term customer trust.

You’ll be comfortable challenging established ways of working and escalating risk when needed, but you’ll do it constructively, using evidence and bringing people with you.

• You’ll bring substantial senior quality leadership experience from a complex manufacturing environment, ideally within automotive, aviation, rail or another demanding regulated or design-led sector.
• You’ll have a degree-level qualification, or equivalent professional experience, in Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, Materials Science or a related discipline.
• You’ll have a strong track record of managing senior customer quality relationships and significant quality incidents.

The impact you will have:

As Quality and Customer Assurance Director, you’ll have the opportunity to fundamentally shape how quality operates across Scottish Leather Group.  Your work will help build deeper customer confidence, strengthen our approach to prevention and ensure that quality is embedded throughout our products and processes rather than treated as a final check.  You’ll help create an environment where manufacturing and functional teams own the quality of their work, supported by a Quality function that provides strong assurance, constructive challenge and expertise.  When significant issues arise, your leadership will help ensure we respond with speed, facts, fairness and clear ownership, protecting both our customers and the long-term interests of the business.
