You will be a subject specialist in one or more Social Science subjects, stepping into an established position to provide continuity and support, maintaining the high standards already in place, ensuring smooth delivery of our assessments during the period of this contract.
You will be managing a portfolio of syllabuses and signing off the exams that our students sit every single series. You will also provide multi-skilled and flexible support across the Social Science and Business teams as required, to assist in managing syllabuses, including question paper production across a diverse range of subjects.

When not creating and signing off exams, you will work on grading, setting the thresholds that our learners are held to.
Working as part of Cambridge University, we work to incredibly high standards. All of our question papers need to be 100% accurate and error free. Every paper has to assess what we say it assesses, and the grade thresholds that you set have to provide a reliable indication for employers and universities around the world of candidates’ mastery of the subject. You must make sure the exams are comparable from series-to-series, year-to-year, and are fair to candidates from different countries and backgrounds.
Working with a range of stakeholders, you will have a varied caseload. You will manage the recruitment of our Assessment Specialists, including Setters, Revisers, Vetters and Assistant Examiners. You will manage their allocation of work, performance, and succession planning. You will work closely with our ministry customers around the world as you work collaboratively with them to develop and revise our syllabuses.
