3What this role really is

This role holds top-level accountability for compliance, quality, health and safety across an entire organisation, worldwide.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Intelex / ETQ Reliance / MasterControl (QMS/EHS Platforms) Strategic

Leads platform selection, oversees enterprise-wide integration, uses aggregated platform data for strategic risk forecasting and board reporting. You'll define how the system serves the business, not just use it.

ServiceNow GRC / Archer (GRC Systems) Strategic

Integrates Quality and Safety risk registers into the enterprise GRC platform, collaborates with the CRO on overall risk posture, and uses the system for executive-level risk aggregation and reporting.

Diligent / BoardVantage (Board Reporting Platforms) Advanced

Prepares, reviews, and uploads comprehensive board packs related to CQS performance, risk, and strategy. Uses the platform for secure communication and document sharing with board members and executive peers.

Power BI / Tableau (BI & Reporting) Strategic

Defines the enterprise-wide quality and compliance metric framework, interprets insights from high-level dashboards for strategic decision-making, and presents these insights to the C-suite and Board.

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
Global CQS Policy & Standard Setting No authority. Follows established policies. Proposes minor process improvements within existing policies. Designs and implements new policies for specific workstreams, with Director approval.
Major Regulatory Interaction & Crisis Management Escalates all external regulatory contact to supervisor. Participates in regulatory audits under supervision; assists with data gathering for responses. Leads specific audit responses or investigations for a defined area, with Director oversight.
CQS Budget Allocation (Global Function) No budget authority. Suggests tool purchases or training needs for their area. Manages project budgets up to £10K, with Director approval.

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.

Enterprise Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)
The total financial impact of quality failures across the entire organisation, including scrap, rework, warranty claims, regulatory fines, and lost sales due to quality issues.
Target · Reduce overall COPQ as a percentage of gross revenue by 10-15% year-over-year, with a long-term goal of <1% of revenue.

If our COPQ was £50M last year on £1B revenue (5%), your target would be to bring it down to £42.5M-£45M (4.25-4.5%) this year through systemic improvements.

Global Regulatory Compliance Audit Success Rate
The percentage of external regulatory and certification audits (e.g., ISO, national safety bodies) that result in zero major non-conformances across all global sites.
Target · Maintain a 100% success rate for major audits, with <5 minor non-conformances globally per year.

Successfully pass all 25 global ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certification audits in 2024 with no major findings and only 3 minor observations across the entire portfolio.

Critical Customer Complaint & Recall Reduction
The rate of critical (e.g., safety-related, high-impact) customer complaints and product recalls per million units shipped or services delivered, globally.
Target · Reduce critical customer complaints by 20% year-over-year and achieve zero product recalls due to quality or safety defects.

From 10 critical complaints per million units last year, you'd aim for 8 or fewer this year, alongside preventing any major product recalls.

Enterprise Risk Register Health (Quality & Compliance)
The completeness, accuracy, and mitigation effectiveness of quality and compliance risks within the company's overall enterprise risk register.
Target · Ensure all identified high-impact quality and compliance risks have active mitigation plans, with a 95% completion rate for scheduled risk reviews.

All top 10 identified quality/compliance risks (e.g., new regulation, critical supplier failure) have clear owners, mitigation strategies, and are reviewed quarterly with the executive team.

Board & Investor Confidence
The level of trust and confidence the Board and key investors have in the company's quality, compliance, and safety programmes and risk management.
  • Regular invitations to present beyond scheduled board meetings
  • direct consultation on M&A targets for CQS risk
  • positive feedback from investor calls regarding our CQS strategy
  • ability to secure budget for strategic CQS initiatives without significant challenge.
Global Regulatory & Industry Relationship Strength
The quality and influence of our relationships with key regulatory bodies, industry associations, and standards organisations worldwide.
  • Being invited to participate in drafting new industry standards or regulatory guidance
  • proactive engagement with regulators that leads to favourable outcomes
  • positive feedback from external auditors on our collaborative approach
  • our company being seen as a thought leader in CQS forums.
Culture of Quality & Safety
The pervasive belief and behaviour across the organisation that quality and safety are inherent responsibilities, not just departmental functions.
  • High employee engagement scores related to safety culture
  • proactive reporting of near misses and OFIs from all levels
  • other C-suite leaders actively championing CQS initiatives
  • demonstrable shift from 'police' perception to 'partner' perception for the CQS function
  • low employee turnover within CQS teams.
Strategic Integration of CQS
How well quality, compliance, and safety considerations are embedded into major business decisions, from product development to market entry.
  • Mandatory CQS review gates in the New Product Introduction (NPI) process
  • CQS leader as a core member of M&A due diligence teams
  • CQS input routinely sought for major supply chain changes or new market entries
  • CQS strategy directly linked to and supporting overall corporate strategy.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Protecting the Enterprise

You'll spend your days thinking about systemic risks, potential regulatory changes, and how to build an organisation that's resilient against unforeseen challenges. This means deep dives into global incident data, strategic planning sessions for compliance, and ensuring our people are safe.

Successfully implementing a new global safety protocol that demonstrably reduces workplace incidents by 30% across all sites, safeguarding hundreds of employees.

Shaping Ethical Culture

You'll be a visible champion for integrity, quality, and safety, influencing every level of the organisation. This involves leading by example, communicating the 'why' behind our standards, and empowering employees to speak up when something isn't right. It's about building a company everyone can be proud of.

Leading a company-wide initiative that shifts the perception of Quality from 'police' to 'partner', resulting in a significant increase in proactive hazard reporting and quality improvement suggestions from frontline staff.

Driving Sustainable Growth

You'll see CQS not as a blocker, but as an enabler for long-term, sustainable business growth. This means finding innovative ways to achieve compliance efficiently, building quality into new product development from the start, and ensuring our supply chains are robust and ethical. You're a strategic growth partner.

Integrating robust CQS due diligence into a major M&A acquisition, successfully identifying and mitigating significant risks that could have derailed the integration or led to future liabilities.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with other C-suite members who prioritise short-term revenue over long-term compliance or safety.
  • The constant battle for adequate resources and budget to proactively manage risks, rather than reactively fix problems.
  • Navigating complex, often conflicting, international regulations and trying to standardise global processes.
  • The immense pressure and scrutiny during major regulatory audits or public crises.
  • Inheriting a fragmented, under-resourced CQS function and having to rebuild trust and capability from the ground up.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet life with predictable routines – expect the unexpected, often at inconvenient times.
  • Universal popularity – you'll make tough decisions that won't please everyone.
  • A role where you can avoid direct accountability for major company-level failures related to CQS.
  • The luxury of focusing solely on one area; you'll need to be an expert generalist across quality, compliance, and safety.

8Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical. You'll be the ultimate owner of our enterprise-wide risk posture related to quality, compliance, and safety. Your decisions directly influence our brand reputation, market access, financial performance (think fines, recalls, lost sales), and our ability to attract and retain top talent. You're essentially the company's insurance policy against major operational and reputational disasters, whilst also being a key driver of sustainable, ethical growth.

Inside the business
  • Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
  • Board of Directors (especially Audit & Risk Committees)
  • C-Suite Peers (CFO, COO, CTO, CHRO)
  • Business Unit Presidents/MDs
  • Legal & Regulatory Affairs
  • Investor Relations
Outside the business
  • Regulatory Bodies (e.g., HSE, MHRA, FDA, EPA)
  • Investors and Shareholders
  • External Auditors and Certification Bodies
  • Key Customers and Strategic Partners
  • Industry Associations and Standards Bodies
  • Media and Public Relations

9What you need before you start

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

  • Proven track record of 20+ years in Compliance, Quality, or Health & Safety, with at least 10 years in senior leadership roles (Director/VP level) within a complex, global organisation.
  • Demonstrable experience leading a global function with significant P&L responsibility (£10M+).
  • Extensive experience presenting to and influencing Boards of Directors, C-suite executives, and major external stakeholders (regulators, investors).
  • A history of successfully navigating and resolving major regulatory challenges, product recalls, or significant safety incidents.
  • Deep expertise in designing and implementing enterprise-wide Integrated Management Systems (IMS) and GRC frameworks.
  • Experience leading M&A due diligence and integration from a CQS perspective.
  • A strong personal ethical compass and an unwavering commitment to integrity and transparency.

Quick win: Start a conversation with your procurement and IT teams about how we currently track critical components and where blockchain could offer a more robust solution.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Active participation and leadership roles in relevant industry associations (e.g., CQI, IOSH, SCCE, ASQ).
  • Regular attendance at global CQS executive conferences and forums to stay abreast of emerging trends and network with peers.
  • Engagement in executive education programmes focused on corporate governance, enterprise risk management, and strategic leadership.
  • Mentoring senior CQS leaders within the organisation, fostering the next generation of talent.
  • Publishing thought leadership articles or speaking at industry events to enhance our company's reputation as a CQS leader.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, at the C-suite level, your time is precious. You're paid to think strategically, influence, and steer the ship, not get bogged down in data consolidation or drafting routine reports. Here's where AI becomes your most powerful executive assistant, giving you back critical hours to focus on what truly matters: enterprise-level impact.

Imagine having a co-pilot that sifts through mountains of global data, flags emerging risks, and drafts your board briefings. That's the reality with AI. It's not about replacing your judgment; it's about augmenting it, giving you unprecedented visibility and freeing you from the mundane so you can focus on the monumental. We're building an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our C-suite leaders in CQS, designed to streamline your workflow and amplify your strategic output.

Automated Enterprise Risk Reporting

AI can pull data from all global QMS, EHS, and GRC systems, identify trends, flag anomalies, and automatically generate executive summaries and dashboards for your weekly and monthly leadership reviews. It'll show you where the next big risk is brewing before it becomes a problem.

Strategic Foresight & Trend Analysis

Feed AI global regulatory updates, industry news, and competitor quality reports. It'll analyse thousands of documents to predict emerging compliance risks, new quality standards, and potential market disruptions, giving you a significant head start in adapting our strategy.

Global Compliance Monitoring & Alerting

AI systems can continuously monitor our operational data against global regulatory requirements, instantly flagging potential non-conformances or deviations. Imagine real-time alerts on factory floor issues that could lead to a major fine, allowing for immediate corrective action.

Board Briefing & Investor Relations AI

Provide AI with raw CQS performance data, incident reports, and strategic updates. It can then draft compelling, data-driven sections for board packs, investor presentations, and public statements, ensuring clarity, consistency, and accuracy, saving you hours of drafting time.
