Compliance & Process Manager

Overview This pivotal role will be responsible for upholding existing ISO certifications and supporting the certification of additional international Apadmi group business units. You’ll help ensure process alignment by auditing teams and championing continuous improvement - particularly within the delivery of our software services to a broad and growing client base. We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about quality, thrives in collaborative environments, and enjoys making a real difference by building effective, inclusive systems that empower others to succeed. This role focuses on driving consistency, efficiency and quality across teams to support the smooth delivery of impactful digital products. You’ll help identify and implement process improvements that reduce friction and strengthen workflows. Working closely with stakeholders across the business, your contribution will help ensure we continue to meet client needs to a high standard, on time, and with lasting value. What You'll Be Working On You’ll play a key role in helping Apadmi’s leadership define and operate core processes while ensuring we maintain and evolve our management system certifications. Alongside auditing our current ways of working, you’ll also look for opportunities to improve them - supporting long-term success for both our project teams and the wider business. Every Apadmi project is unique, and you’ll adapt your support accordingly - spotting ways to enable teams and make processes more intuitive and efficient. Your work will be crucial to upholding quality as we grow, both in the UK and across our international offices. You’ll be confident working with traditional management systems such as ISO standards (e.g., Information Security, Quality Management), while also appreciating modern agile and flexible delivery practices. You’ll act as a quality advocate - helping us learn, share and improve internally, as well as supporting our clients in understanding the value of how we work. You’ll have the confidence to question assumptions and engage with senior colleagues in a constructive way, always focused on improvement and outcomes.
