General Manager – Welcome from Mark Bedlow, Chief Operating Officer, AQA

Welcome, and thank you for visiting our recruitment microsite.

At AQA, we’re proud to support Doublestruck, a wholly owned subsidiary that has been delivering trusted digital assessment tools, Exampro and Testbase, to schools across the UK for over 30 years. As we look ahead, we’re entering a new phase of strategic alignment between Doublestruck and AQA’s broader digital assessment work.

This is an evolution, not a revolution. We’re building on the strong foundations Doublestruck has established, while creating closer connections that will help us better serve teachers, students, and centres nationwide — and increasingly, internationally.

With the founder stepping down, we’re now seeking a new General Manager to lead Doublestruck into its next chapter. It’s a unique opportunity to shape the future of a respected edtech business and contribute meaningfully to AQA’s mission.

To learn more about the role and the vision behind it, I invite you to watch a short video conversation between me and Alison Elton, Principal Consultant at our recruitment partners, GatenbySanderson. In it, we discuss why this opportunity matters and what makes it so exciting.

We’re delighted you’re here, and we hope the insights shared help you explore whether this opportunity is right for you. If it resonates, we look forward to receiving your application and learning more about what you could bring to Doublestruck and AQA.

Mark Bedlow
Chief Operating Officer, AQA
