About Us

At Alexander Battery Technologies (ABT), quality is built into our products—not just checked at the end. We are a data-driven, process-focused business committed to delivering the highest standards in battery manufacturing.

As we continue to grow, we need a Quality Manager who can drive continuous improvement, strategic leadership, and process excellence. This is a strategic leadership role, reporting directly to the CEO, with a focus on team development, data-driven decision-making, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and customer requirements.


This role is critical in shaping ABT’s long-term quality vision, ensuring that our processes remain scalable and adaptable as the company grows. You will be responsible for defining quality strategies and ensuring final decisions align with ABT’s standards and business goals.

 

Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor the quality team, ensuring alignment with company objectives and strategic quality goals.
  • Develop and refine quality processes across NPI and production, ensuring compliance with SPC, Gauge R&R, PPAP, control plans, and supplier quality management.
  • Drive data-based decision-making, ensuring quality metrics are captured, analysed, and used to drive improvements.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory standards including CE, UN38.3, UL, and others depending on the product.
  • Oversee problem-solving and risk management, driving CAPA, 8D, and escalation processes to resolution.
  • Lead internal quality reviews with engineering, operations, and procurement, ensuring alignment on quality objectives and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Contribute to customer quality reports and present quality metrics during customer visits, ensuring ABT’s commitment to high-quality standards is reinforced.
  • Translate data insights into strategic quality improvements – while a data analyst will support reporting and dashboards, you will be responsible for identifying trends, interpreting insights, and driving actions based on quality data.
  • Ensure ERP systems (IFS preferred) are utilised effectively, maintaining traceability, control, and compliance in all quality-related activities.
  • Identify opportunities for innovation, staying up to date with emerging quality technologies and recommending process automation or continuous improvement initiatives.


Key Performance Indicators

Success in this role will be measured by:


  • Reduction in supplier quality issues through proactive supplier management and process control.
  • First-pass yield improvement across manufacturing operations.
  • Time to resolution for quality issues, tracked through CAPA, 8D, and non-conformance reports.
  • Effectiveness of NPI quality planning, ensuring PPAP and SPC controls are in place before production ramp-up.
  • Regulatory compliance metrics, ensuring no gaps or risks in CE, UN38.3, UL, or other required certifications.
  • Effective use of data to improve decision-making and process control, reducing defects and inefficiencies.
  • Implementation of innovative quality solutions, ensuring continuous improvement in quality processes.


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in a Quality Management role, preferably within battery manufacturing, electronics, or other regulated industries.
  • A proactive, collaborative leader who takes ownership of the quality function and builds strong relationships with their team and peers.
  • Strong understanding of quality methodologies including SPC, Gauge R&R, PPAP, CAPA, audits, 8D, and supplier quality management.
  • Experience working with regulatory compliance frameworks such as CE, UN38.3, and UL.
  • Proven ability to interpret and use data to drive quality improvements, ensuring decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage cross-functionally and interact with customers when required.
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (IFS preferred) and an understanding of digital quality tracking tools, with a data analyst to support execution.
  • A forward-thinking mindset, capable of identifying and implementing quality innovations to improve efficiency and accuracy.


Why Join Us?

  • Work directly with the CEO to shape ABT’s quality strategy and continuous improvement culture.
  • Lead a growing team in a business that prioritises quality and data-driven decision-making.
  • Be part of a fast-growing company with real opportunities to drive change and impact product quality at scale.
  • Competitive salary £45,000 - £55,000, with additional benefits to be discussed at the offer stage.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
