Chief Executive Officer
£126,000 – £143,000
We are searching for a new Chief Executive to help lead us on a journey of positive change as we evolve into Qualifications Scotland. This is a rare opportunity to build an organisation that is agile, learner-centred, and world leading. The role will work with partners to drive forward the ambitious reform of Scotland’s qualifications and assessment system.
We are looking for a leader who can guide our people through this change, to build on our successes to date and deliver a strong organisation for the future. Someone who is passionate about education, committed to fairness and equity, and ready to reset relationships through stronger and more meaningful engagement.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong track record of strategic leadership, and the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and – crucially – with everyone we serve.
This is more than just a job. It’s a chance to make a real difference to the lives of thousands of learners across Scotland. You will be at the forefront of shaping the future of qualifications and assessment, empowering individuals of all ages to unlock their full potential.
If you are a dynamic and experienced leader with a passion for education and a commitment to excellence, we want to hear from you. This is an opportunity to lead a vital national organisation and make a lasting impact on Scotland’s education system.
The role can be based in either SQA offices in Glasgow city centre or Dalkeith near Edinburgh with regular travel to the other.
