We are partnering with an international, premium homewear brand to recruit a Quality Assurance Manager for a fully remote UK-based role. This is a high-impact position with full ownership of quality, compliance, and regulatory functions across the business.

Reporting directly to a Product Director, you’ll play a critical role in protecting brand integrity while enabling product innovation.
The Role:*Define and implement the global quality assurance and compliance strategy across all product categories, with a focus on furniture (essential requirement)

*Partner closely with Product and Design teams to embed quality into the product lifecycle from concept through to launch.
*Lead supplier compliance, including audits, ethical sourcing standards, and ongoing performance management.
*Establish and manage product testing protocols, inspections, and relationships with global test laboratories
*Drive continuous improvement through data, customer insights, and performance metrics.
*Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for quality or safety issues.
*Identify and deliver ROI improvements through smarter processes (e.g., re-sourcing, returns reduction, testing efficiencies).
*Ensure clear documentation of certifications, testing, and audit records across all markets
About You:*Proven QA / Compliance leader with strong experience in furniture or homeware (non-negotiable)
*Demonstrated ability to build and lead QA functions in fast-paced, international environments
*Strong technical knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and global regulatory standards
*Commercially minded, with clear examples of driving cost savings and operational improvements
*Confident, proactive, and comfortable operating autonomously with full ownership
*A broad, strategic thinker who can bring structure without disrupting creative and product teams
*Excellent communicator and collaborator with the ability to influence across departments while working remotely
*Hands-on when needed, with a pragmatic and solutions-focused approach
*A team player with high standards, strong integrity, and a commitment to quality and sustainability
