Quality Manager (Manufacturing) - Bristol (on-site)
The full job description covers all associated skills, previous experience, and any qualifications that applicants are expected to have.
This is a standout opportunity for a Quality Manager who wants real autonomy to shape 'what good looks like' and embed a quality-first culture with genuine backing from a supportive senior leadership team. You'll take ownership of a practical, modern QMS and lead the cultural shift so quality is how decisions are made day-to-day, not a box-ticking exercise. If you enjoy being visible on the shopfloor, coaching teams, and turning data and problem-solving into better customer outcomes, this role gives you the platform (and the air cover) to make lasting change.
What you'll be doing
- Lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of the Quality Management System (QMS), keeping it usable and adopted across the business.
- Act as a change agent: build engagement, accountability, transparency and strong quality behaviours at every level.
- Define and embed robust inspection and test approaches, ensuring processes and products consistently meet customer and internal standards.
- Drive structured problem solving and continuous improvement (root cause, CAPA/8D, FMEA, Lean, SPC), turning issues into learning and prevention.
- Build meaningful KPIs/dashboards and use data to improve performance and decision-making.
- Lead internal/external audits and supplier performance reviews, ensuring actions are closed effectively.
- Assess training needs, develop capability (including skills matrices), and coach/mentor the quality team and wider stakeholders.
- Partner cross-functionally (manufacturing, design, aftercare, sales/product) to translate customer expectations into operational reality.
- Support the journey toward ISO 9001 readiness when the business is ready.
What we're looking for
- Proven experience as a Quality Manager or in a senior quality leadership role within a manufacturing environment.
- Strong, hands-on knowledge of QMS design and implementation (making systems that work in practice).
- Track record of leading cultural change and influencing stakeholders without relying on hierarchy.
- Solid CI / problem-solving toolkit (e.g., 8D, CAPA, FMEA, Lean, SPC, root cause). xbpsjku
- Confident communicator who can coach, present, and bring people with you.
- Data-driven mindset with the ability to build clarity from metrics and translate that into action.
