Some careers follow a roadmap. Others help define it.
At Aston Martin, every vehicle we create represents an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, innovation and performance. Behind every detail, every component and every customer experience sits a global network of suppliers whose quality standards must match our own.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of that challenge.
As Head of Supplier Quality Assurance, you will lead the team responsible for ensuring the quality, capability and readiness of our supplier network across the entire vehicle lifecycle. From future technologies and concept development through to production launch and beyond, your influence will be felt across every programme and every product that wears the Aston Martin wings.
Leading a talented team of Supplier Quality professionals, you will shape the strategy, processes and governance that underpin supplier excellence. Working alongside senior leaders across Procurement, Engineering, Manufacturing and Programme Management, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring suppliers are capable, resilient and ready to deliver against the ambitions of one of the world's most iconic luxury brands.
This is far more than a quality leadership role. It is an opportunity to influence sourcing decisions, shape supplier partnerships, drive industrialisation readiness and build long-term capability across a complex global supply network. You will be at the centre of critical business decisions, providing strategic leadership and clear direction that enables successful programme delivery while protecting the exceptional standards our customers expect.
You'll bring extensive experience within Supplier Quality, Supplier Development or Quality Engineering gained within an automotive OEM, Tier 1 supplier or similarly complex engineering environment. Just as importantly, you'll have the credibility and leadership presence to inspire teams, influence senior stakeholders and build trusted relationships both internally and externally.
You'll understand how to translate strategy into action, balancing quality, risk, programme delivery and continuous improvement in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment. Your experience of supplier industrialisation, launch readiness, APQP, PPAP and automotive quality systems will allow you to make an immediate impact, while your leadership style will help create an environment where people and performance can thrive.
In return, you'll have the opportunity to shape the future of Supplier Quality at Aston Martin during an exciting period of transformation and growth. You'll work alongside passionate experts, influence programmes that push boundaries and play a key role in delivering extraordinary products to customers around the world.
This is your chance to leave a lasting legacy, not only through the vehicles we create, but through the standards, partnerships and capabilities you build along the way.
