5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
IMS Strategy & Roadmap Propose minor improvements to a specific process. Recommend changes to a project's approach based on data. Design and implement new IMS modules or significant process changes within a workstream.
Budget & Resource Allocation Track personal expenses against a project budget. Estimate resource needs for a small project. Manage a project budget up to £50K, making recommendations on resource allocation.
Team Management & Development Focus on personal learning and development. Provide informal guidance to new joiners. Mentor 1-2 junior team members, providing technical guidance and feedback.
External Vendor & Partner Management Follow up on support tickets with vendors. Escalate minor vendor issues to senior team members. Manage relationships with specific vendors for a project, ensuring deliverables are met.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) Reduction
Reducing the costs associated with failures, appraisals, and prevention activities related to quality.
Target · 15% reduction year-on-year across key operational areas.

If last year's COPQ was £1M, you'd aim to bring it down to £850K through better process control and fewer rework incidents.

Leading Indicator Engagement Rate
Increasing the proactive reporting of safety observations, near misses, and quality improvement suggestions.
Target · 25% increase in submissions across all sites annually.

If we had 100 near-miss reports last month, you'd be looking for 125 next month, showing a more proactive safety culture.

External Audit Non-Conformance (NC) Count
The number of major and minor non-conformances identified during external certification and surveillance audits.
Target · Zero major NCs; maximum of 2 minor NCs per audit cycle.

Successfully completing our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 surveillance audits with no major findings and only one minor observation.

IMS Platform Uptime & Data Accuracy
Ensuring our EHSQ/GRC platforms are consistently available and the data within them is reliable for reporting.
Target · >99.5% uptime; <1% data entry error rate.

Our Intelex system was available for 99.8% of operational hours last quarter, and a spot check of incident reports showed 0.5% errors.

Team Development & Retention
Growing the capabilities of your direct reports and keeping them engaged.
Target · 80% team retention; 100% completion of individual development plans.

All your IMS Leads completed their Lead Auditor training this year, and no one left the team for external opportunities.

Stakeholder Trust & Influence
Being seen as a trusted advisor, not just a 'compliance police' officer, whose input is sought on strategic decisions.
  • You're regularly invited to business unit leadership meetings, not just for audit updates. Operational managers actively seek your advice on process changes before implementation. Your team's recommendations are consistently adopted without significant pushback. People actually listen when you talk about risk.
Proactive Risk Management Culture
Shifting the organisation from reactive problem-solving to proactive identification and mitigation of risks.
  • You'll see a noticeable increase in early warning indicators being reported. Business units are conducting their own risk assessments more frequently and effectively. Leadership discussions move from 'what went wrong?' to 'how do we prevent it?'. Your team is seen as a partner in preventing issues, not just fixing them.
System Effectiveness & User Adoption
Ensuring the IMS is genuinely embedded in daily operations and seen as a useful tool, not a burden.
  • User feedback surveys show high satisfaction with the IMS platforms. Training completion rates are high. You'll see evidence of continuous improvement ideas coming from front-line staff using the system. People are using the system because it helps them, not just because they have to.
Strategic Vendor Partnership
Building strong, mutually beneficial relationships with our IMS platform providers.
  • Our vendors see us as a key client and are responsive to our needs. We're getting early access to new features and influencing product roadmaps. Contract renewals are smooth, and we're getting good value for money. You're not just a customer
  • you're a partner.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building Robust Systems & Processes

You'll get a real kick out of designing a new workflow in Intelex that automates a previously manual compliance check, or seeing a new document control process finally click for the whole organisation. You love seeing a well-oiled machine.

Successfully rolling out a new CAPA module in our GRC platform that reduces resolution times by 20% and gets genuine buy-in from operational teams.

Driving Continuous Improvement

You're always looking for ways to make things better, safer, or more efficient. This means analysing audit findings to spot systemic weaknesses, coaching your team on new RCA techniques, and pushing for proactive changes that prevent issues before they happen.

Implementing a new risk assessment methodology that significantly reduces the number of high-severity incidents reported in a specific business unit.

Developing & Leading a High-Performing Team

You thrive on mentoring your IMS Leads and Specialists, helping them grow their skills, tackle complex problems, and become more effective auditors and system owners. Seeing your team succeed and take on more responsibility is a big win for you.

One of your Senior IMS Specialists successfully leads a major external audit without significant intervention from you, demonstrating their growth and capability.

What frustrates people
  • The annual battle to justify budget for systems and headcount for a function that doesn't directly generate revenue – it's seen as an 'insurance policy' cost.
  • The 'check-box' mentality from some managers and employees who do the bare minimum to pass an audit, completely missing the spirit of continual improvement.
  • Chasing overdue CAPAs: Spending an inordinate amount of time reminding senior managers to complete corrective actions they were assigned months ago.
  • The chaos of trying to merge a newly acquired company's non-existent or completely different management system into your own – it's often a post-acquisition nightmare.
  • Getting 'audit fatigue' from operational teams when you announce yet another internal audit, and the struggle to keep them engaged and cooperative.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable routine – expect urgent issues and shifting priorities.
  • Direct control over operational teams – you'll need to influence, not command.
  • Immediate, tangible revenue generation – your impact is more about risk reduction and efficiency gains.
  • A role where everyone immediately understands and appreciates the value of compliance – you'll often have to educate and advocate.

8Who you work with

This role directly shapes the organisation's ability to maintain its ISO certifications, meet regulatory obligations, and operate safely and efficiently. You'll influence how we manage risk, respond to incidents, and continuously improve our processes, which ultimately protects our brand, reduces operational costs, and helps us win new business through demonstrating robust systems.

Inside the business
  • Business Unit Heads (Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain)
  • Legal & Regulatory Affairs
  • Finance Leadership
  • HR Leadership
  • IT & Infrastructure Teams
Outside the business
  • External Certification Bodies (e.g., BSI, SGS)
  • Regulatory Authorities (e.g., HSE, Environment Agency)
  • IMS Platform Vendors
  • Key Clients (for quality assurance discussions)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven experience (at least 5-8 years) leading a significant workstream or programme within an Integrated Management System, ideally with exposure to multiple ISO standards.
  • Demonstrable experience managing and mentoring a team of at least 3-5 professionals, including performance management and development planning.
  • A track record of successfully managing external certification audits with minimal non-conformances.
  • Strong experience with at least one major EHSQ/IMS platform (e.g., Intelex, Cority) at an advanced configuration level.
  • Advanced proficiency in Root Cause Analysis techniques and designing effective Corrective and Preventive Actions.
  • Experience in managing budgets and resources for projects or a small team.
  • Excellent presentation skills, with experience communicating complex information to senior management.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Data Analytics & Predictive Modelling for CQHS

Moving beyond descriptive reporting, you'll need to guide your team in using advanced analytics to predict potential incidents, identify emerging risks, and forecast compliance trends. This means leveraging statistical models and machine learning outputs to drive proactive decision-making.

Time Series Analysis for Incident Trends · Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection · Statistical Process Control (SPC) · Data Visualisation Storytelling

  • This month: Explore advanced features in Power BI or Tableau, focusing on predictive analytics capabilities.
  • Next 3 months: Identify one area where predictive modelling could significantly improve our CQHS outcomes (e.g., predicting equipment failure, high-risk areas).
  • Next 6 months: Work with a data scientist (if available) or an external consultant to build a prototype predictive model for that area.
  • Next 12 months: Implement a pilot programme using predictive insights to guide resource allocation for audits or safety interventions.

Quick win: Start incorporating leading indicators more prominently into your regular reporting, and challenge your team to think about what data could help us predict, not just react.

Process Automation & Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in IMS

Many routine IMS tasks, from data entry to basic compliance checks, can be automated. You'll need to identify opportunities for RPA and other automation technologies to streamline our processes, reduce human error, and free up your team for higher-value work.

Process Mapping for Automation · RPA Tools & Capabilities · Intelligent Automation (IA) · Automation Governance

  • This quarter: Identify 2-3 highly repetitive, manual tasks within your team's workflow that could be candidates for automation.
  • Next 6 months: Research RPA tools and speak with IT about potential pilot projects for process automation.
  • Next 12 months: Lead a small-scale RPA implementation to automate a specific IMS administrative task.
  • Next 18 months: Document the time savings and error reduction from automation projects and share the success stories internally.

Quick win: Encourage your team to use simple automation features within existing tools (e.g., email rules, automated report generation) to save small chunks of time daily.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry conferences and seminars on IMS, EHSQ, and GRC to stay current with best practices and emerging trends.
  • Participate in professional networks or forums for IMS practitioners to share knowledge and learn from peers.
  • Undertake continuous professional development (CPD) in areas like leadership, change management, or advanced data analytics.
  • Seek out opportunities to present on IMS topics internally or at industry events, building your reputation as a subject matter expert.

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, leading an IMS team involves a fair bit of grunt work alongside the strategic stuff. Imagine if you could cut down on the tedious bits, freeing you up to focus on what truly matters: strategy, team development, and real business impact. Well, you can. AI isn't just for data scientists anymore; it's a game-changer for IMS professionals, especially at your level.

We're embedding AI tools across our Compliance, Quality, Health & Safety department to help our managers and teams work smarter, not harder. For an IMS Director Manager, this means less time wrestling with reports or chasing updates, and more time driving strategic initiatives and coaching your team. Here's a glimpse of how AI can transform your day-to-day:

CAPA & NC Automation Assistant

Imagine AI drafting initial Non-Conformance reports from audit notes, suggesting root causes based on historical data, and even auto-generating reminders for overdue Corrective and Preventive Actions. This isn't science fiction; it's happening. You'll spend less time on manual follow-up and more time ensuring systemic issues are truly resolved.

Predictive Risk Hotspotting

AI can analyse incident, near-miss, and observation data across all our sites to identify emerging trends and predict which locations or processes are most likely to have a future event. This means you can direct your team's audit and training resources to actual high-risk areas, rather than just doing uniform sampling. It's about being proactive, not reactive.

Regulatory Change Summariser

Forget spending hours sifting through dense legal documents. AI can scan regulatory databases and legislative updates relevant to our industry and locations, giving you concise summaries of changes. It'll even flag which internal policies and procedures in our document control system might be impacted. You'll be ahead of the curve, not playing catch-up.

Audit & Management Review Scribe

AI can generate first drafts of internal audit reports by structuring notes and evidence from your team. For your critical Management Review meetings, it can synthesise KPI data from various dashboards into a draft executive summary, highlighting key trends and areas for discussion. This streamlines your most time-consuming documentation tasks, letting you focus on the narrative and strategic implications.
