Job description

Description

We’re on a mission to shape the next generation of scientists and technologists and that means we’ve got to keep every detail watertight. Our learners deserve an experience that’s exceptional and compliant.

As Data and Compliance Integrity Manager , you’re the guardian of our data integrity, the architect of our assurance processes, and the driving force behind continuous improvement. You’ll lead our compliance operations, overseeing funding accuracy, audit readiness, and data quality ensuring we stay ahead of every rule change and regulation.

You’ll bring the perfect balance of precision and curiosity. You’ll thrive in the detail but never lose sight of the bigger picture. Using insight, automation, and process improvement to make compliance smarter, faster, and stronger. You’ll collaborate across teams to make sure compliance doesn’t just protect what we do, it empowers it.

We're Tiro. We’ve been helping hungry apprentices join ambitious businesses since 2005. At Tiro, we believe that great apprenticeships help everyone, because there are remarkable apprentices out there just waiting to be found, and fantastic employment opportunities waiting to be filled. Our work is never just about filling vacancies. It’s about changing the world. We’re helping to find people who are driving innovation in sustainable materials, improving the efficiency of UK manufacturing, and shaping the technologies of the future. And we’re proud to be playing our part.

As Tiro enters its next phase of growth, this is an exciting opportunity for you to really make your mark in a scaling and growing business, create your own opportunities and shape the landscape of data and compliance in our business.

The Role

As our guardian of compliance, you’ll work across our programmes, coordinating and leading internal / external (DfE) audits, quality assurance, and compliance for Tiro’s apprenticeship provision to ensure we are compliant with all our regulatory requirements.

You’ll use data not just to check accuracy, but to tell a story. Spotting patterns, identifying risks, and turning findings into improvement.

You’ll make sure learners start right, every time. You’ll design, implement and oversee a compliant onboarding process, ensuring eligibility checks, prior attainment and evidence are complete and accurate.

You’ll design and maintain systems that keep compliance consistent from enrolment to achievement. You’ll implement regular file audits and data validation checks, ensuring everything stands up to DfE, Ofsted and EPAO scrutiny. You’ll help teams understand not just what compliance requires, but why it matters, building confidence, accountability, and consistency at every level.

You'll be an experienced leader within compliance and know all there is to know about apprenticeship funding rules, audits, quality assurance and compliance.

You’ll be commercially minded - acutely aware of the impact every learner, every number and every detail has on our business.

You won't take data at face value. You'll be inquisitive and curious, pulling the narrative from the numbers and proactively presenting improvements and solutions.

You'll be a first-class collaborator, educating others to streamline processes and directly impact every learner's journey.

About You

We’re not interested in a tick-box list of qualifications. We’re looking for someone who brings the right attitude, aptitude, and credibility.

As our Data and Compliance Integrity Manager, you will :

• Have been there and done that on Apprenticeship Compliance, Compliance Operations, Department for Education funding rules and regulations, Ofsted regulations and requirements, Exams and End Point Assessment.
• Build trust through clear, open, and genuine communication not just with learners, but across teams.
• Be the Architect and the Auditor. You balance precision with curiosity. You know consistency and discipline are the backbone of compliance.
• Be Insight-Driven and Data Confident. You lead with data. Not just collecting it, but transforming it into meaningful insight.
• Lead with Resilience, Groundedness, and Growth. You stay calm, balanced, and focused when things shift, modelling composure and confidence for your team. You take setbacks in your stride, learn fast, and turn challenges into momentum.
• Lead with Trust and Empowerment. You take responsibility for outcomes, not just actions, setting direction, giving autonomy, and trusting your team to deliver.
• Champion Technology as an Enabler. You embrace technology as a tool for connection, insight, and impact. You’re confident navigating systems like Aptem, Salesforce, and Power BI, and you encourage others to do the same.

Safeguarding

This role involves contact with learners aged 16 and over. Tiro is committed to the safeguarding and well‑being of all our learners, staff, and customers. We fully recognise our responsibilities for protecting vulnerable groups.

It is our policy to promote the safety, health, and well‑being of everyone we work with. Safeguarding checks will be undertaken as part of your application, and if successful, you’ll be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for the position.

The Package

We LOVE people — the apprentices brimming with potential, the business leaders hungry for talent, and our brilliant team who make it all happen.

At Tiro, we’ll look after you because we’re nothing without our people. We’ll never take you for granted, and we’ll make sure work is rewarding, challenging, and fun. In turn, we’ll ask you to treat our clients and apprentices the same way — helping people get their big break and enabling businesses to grow.

You’ll receive :

• Salary : £45,000 per annum
• Holidays : 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible working : Choose your own hours (37.5 per week)
• Hybrid working : a split between our modern Birmingham office and remote working
• Pension : 5% employee / 3% employer contribution
• Perks : Staff events, away days, and regular CPD opportunities
• Progression : Fantastic opportunities to grow with us

We’re Tiro (pronounced Tea-ro — white, two sugars).

In Latin, it means novice, recruit, apprentice, beginner, and soldier — the perfect name for a company that’s been helping fearless apprentices join ambitious businesses since 2005.

We believe great apprenticeships help everyone. There are remarkable apprentices out there just waiting to be found, and fantastic employers waiting to nurture them.

We’re proud to help connect the two — supporting industries that make, test, and innovate; from polymer manufacturing and materials science to sustainable engineering and advanced technology.

At Tiro, we make great things happen for people.

And that starts with you.
