A industrial quality manager already meets 39% of what the quality services manager role asks for. The move turns on 11 required skills not yet in the profile.
39%
60.6/ 100
1 Share of the quality services manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the industrial quality manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A quality services manager role treats 6 of its required skills as things a industrial quality manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- analyse test data
- create solutions to problems
- database quality standards
- define quality standards
- perform quality audits
- quality standards
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A quality services manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a industrial quality manager background worth leading with.
- already held management systems standards business, administration and law
- already held database quality standards information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held perform pre-assembly quality checks information skills
- already held define quality standards management skills
- already held communicate test results to other departments communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform quality audits management skills
All 13 carried skills, including the 6 the quality services manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 18 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a quality services manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 business knowledge knowledge · sector specific
- 02 corporate social responsibility knowledge · sector specific
- 03 oversee stock quality control skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
