About the Role
This is a senior leadership opportunity within the Assessment Development and Delivery (ADD) team, with responsibility for the Diploma Programme (DP) and Career-related Programme (CP) Language Acquisition portfolio. It is a role for a leader who combines sound judgement, strong people leadership and a commitment to assessment quality in a high-stakes international environment.
The role combines strategic and operational leadership, with accountability for assessment quality, subject-management delivery, examination-session readiness and continuous improvement. Examination sessions are focused peak periods, while the months in between are dedicated to assessment creation, curriculum-linked development, quality assurance and the delivery of improvement activity across the portfolio.

Senior Managers make decisions that directly affect IB assessment outcomes and play a critical role in protecting the organisation's global reputation for quality, fairness, academic integrity and innovation.
