Current Vacancies

The e-Assessment Association (eAA) is a not-for-profit international membership organisation based in the UK for consumers of, producers of and those with an interest in e-assessment.

The association has been dedicated to furthering technology-enhanced assessment adoption since 2008.  It provides professional support and facilitates debate and discussion for people involved in this field of expertise.  It creates and communicates the positive contributions that technology makes to all forms of assessment and develops good practice for suppliers and consumers of e‑assessment technologies.

The work of the e-Assessment Association has grown significantly over the past few years, along with international interest in e-assessment.  To sustain this growth and to ensure that we're providing full support to the community we have two current vacancies.

Operations Manager, 25 hours per week

Following a review of the executive team structure, the post of Operations Manager has been created to be responsible for the delivery of the eAA operations and most notably the annual International Conference and Awards. This will be a permanent, employed position.

The OM will be hired by the Chair of the eAA board but work with and to the CEO to develop and implement a secure annual plan and associated budget and ensure that appropriate resourcing is available to deliver the plan.  The Board of Management of the eAA has approved an approach to resourcing that puts in place a core Executive Team supported by out-sourced suppliers and project-based consultants.  This is to provide flexibility of operation for the eAA whilst maintaining close management of the organisation’s resources.

An understanding and familiarity with the educational assessment sector will be an advantage, but not a pre-requisite.  The individual appointed must be able to take the initiative in planning and implementing the eAA annual plan and work effectively without close supervision.  The individual appointed will have to create and maintain good relationships with a wide network of stakeholders within the educational assessment industry as well as member of the Board of Management of the eAA.  Ensuring that the eAA’s sponsors are well-served is paramount to the success of the role and the eAA as an organisation.

As a result, it is also anticipated that this role will be appointed on a part-time, employed basis based on a defined number of hours per week.  This may be reviewed during the term of the contract by mutual agreement.
