Deputy Quality Lead - Greenwich - £70,000 + Car Allow. + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Lead, Inspire, Deliver

We're looking for a hands-on quality leader who thrives on developing people, driving performance, and leading a diverse team. As Deputy Quality Lead, you won't just manage processes-you'll shape a culture where "Right First Time" is second nature, challenges are tackled head-on, and every team member can grow and succeed.

You'll work closely with the Site Quality Manager to be the voice of quality across production, owning non-conformance control, corrective actions, and root cause investigations. But your impact won't stop there-you'll coach, mentor, and motivate your team, manage conflict constructively, and help create a workplace where collaboration, accountability, and inclusivity thrive.

Why This Role

Competitive salary, bonus, car allowance, and excellent benefits.
Lead a diverse, talented team and have real influence over their growth and success.
Shape the quality culture of a business undergoing an exciting transformation.
Join a company which develops technology which we all depend on every day!
Visible, tangible impact-your leadership directly improves how people work, learn, and deliver.

What You'll Own

Day-to-day quality operations-guiding junior engineers and stepping in where needed.
Non-conformance control, corrective actions, and RCA investigations (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys, FMEA).
Team development-mentor, coach, and motivate QEs, QCs, and Support Specialists.
Drive performance-manage conflict, set expectations, and ensure accountability.
Embed quality across production, design, supply chain, and project teams.
Support internal and external audits with speed and confidence.
Proactively plan for product readiness and risk prevention.
Foster a culture of curiosity, inclusivity, and continuous improvement.

About You

Engineering degree (or equivalent) with strong quality leadership experience.
Skilled in quality systems and tools (ISO9001 Lead Auditor; Lean Six Sigma Black Belt desirable).
Proven track record in leading and motivating diverse teams, managing conflict, and driving performance.
Experienced in highly regulated, zero-error industries (Automotive, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Pharma, Food).
Collaborative, inquisitive, and solution-focused-always asking why, not just how.
Ideally a current or former Quality Manager ready to make a real difference in a deputy leadership role.
