About the Role
RDSBL is accelerating its international quality agenda and seeking an experienced Accreditation Manager to lead and deliver our accreditation ambitions across key external frameworks, including AACSB, EFMD, AMBA and PRME.
You will design, own and deliver the school’s accreditation roadmap, develop and steer Assurance of Learning (AoL), curate and interpret datasets, coordinate submissions and panel visits, and embed continuous improvement that enhances student performance, academic rigour, employer impact and school reputation.
This is a high-profile role that sits at the centre of our strategic development, working closely with senior leaders, academic colleagues and collaborative partners to elevate our teaching, research, employability and quality standards.
Key areas of responsibility include:
- Building and implementing an accreditation plan aligned with RDSBL priorities
- Leading self-evaluation writing, evidence gathering and peer-review visit readiness
- Operating a School-wide AoL system – goals, measures, sampling, rubric quality, reporting and closing the loop
- Managing datasets covering faculty qualifications, sufficiency, intellectual contributions and standards-related evidence
- Aligning school quality systems with institutional requirements, tracking improvements and identifying risks
- Upskilling colleagues and providing expert advice to senior leadership on accreditation standards and developments
- Establishing governance structures, such as accreditation and AoL working groups
- Representing RDSBL externally and supporting transnational academic partners in meeting accreditation expectations
- This is a strategic, collaborative and outcomes-focused role, with genuine opportunity to shape the school’s national and international standing.
