Degree Senior Operations Specialist

Responsibilities

• Evidence Audit and Gap Analysis
• Conduct a structured audit of Multiverse's current evidence base against each Full DAPs criterion (A-E), identifying gaps, weaknesses, and areas requiring corrective action
• Map existing documentation - policies, committee minutes, programme records, staff development frameworks - to the relevant evidence requirements
• Produce a clear gap analysis that drives the work plan for the submission, with particular attention to the corrective actions identified in the Year 1 monitoring assessment.
• Stakeholder Coordination and Evidence Gathering
• Act as the central coordinator for cross-functional evidence contributions, managing and chasing stakeholders across Learning, Certification Operations, Governance, Student Engagement, and Enablement
• Build and maintain a shared project tracker that gives all contributors clarity on what is needed, from whom, and by when
• Work with the Enablement team to develop and document pathways for instructor engagement with the wider HE sector - including external examiner opportunities, HE partnerships, and scholarship activity - to address criterion C1 (staff scholarship and pedagogical effectiveness)
• Facilitate the gathering of student voice evidence in a form that satisfies criterion A1 and D1, working with the student engagement function
• Escalate blockers clearly and early to Harriet Lowe, with a proposed solution
• Self-Assessment Drafting
• Draft the self-assessment submission in the PEE structure (Policy, Explain, Evidence) for each criterion, translating Multiverse's operational reality into the OfS regulatory register
• Ensure the document demonstrates honest self-criticality - a key differentiator in OfS assessments - while presenting Multiverse's progress in the strongest credible terms
• Incorporate feedback from Harriet Lowe, Shenay Cantelo-Poppe and Mesma through iterative review cycles
• Manage the evidence spreadsheet alongside the narrative, ensuring every claim is mapped to a specific piece of supporting documentation
• Project Management
• Own the project plan

Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. About Multiverse Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and tech adoption. We partner with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that is transforming today's workforce. Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers - and we are just getting started. In 2022, Multiverse was granted New Degree Awarding Powers (New DAPs) by the Office for Students (OfS), making it one of a small number of providers outside the traditional university sector to hold these powers. We are now preparing for our Full DAPs end assessment - the process by which those powers are confirmed, strengthened, and placed on a permanent footing. Role Purpose This is a high-stakes, high-visibility fixed-term role at the heart of one of Multiverse's most important regulatory processes. The Full DAPs end assessment, with a submission deadline of 26 October 2026 and a site visit in early 2027, will determine whether Multiverse retains its ability to independently award degrees beyond December 2027. As Project Lead for the Full DAPs end assessment, you will own the day-to-day delivery of the submission: auditing our current evidence base, coordinating contributions from teams across the business, and drafting the self-assessment narrative that will be reviewed by three external assessors and the OfS's Quality Assessment Committee. This is not a desk-based writing role. It requires someone who can navigate a complex organisation, hold senior stakeholders accountable, and translate regulatory language into clear internal tasks - while producing a self-assessment document that is honest, rigorous, and compelling. You will work closely with the Senior Manager, Instructional Delivery, Head of Regulatory Affairs, and our retained specialist consultancy, with regular visibility to senior leadership.
