Job Description
We’re looking for a QA Manager / Head of QA to lead the quality assurance strategy for one of our key clients. This role goes beyond test execution — it’s about influencing product and engineering decisions, contributing to the QA vision, and advocating for quality at the highest level.
If you're passionate about driving organizational quality maturity, working closely with senior leadership, and positioning QA as a business-critical investment, this role is for you.
What you'll do:
- Define and own the QA strategy across programs and teams, aligned with business goals and engineering practices.
- Act as the senior voice of quality, influencing stakeholders and decision-makers on best practices, priorities, and risk.
- Identify and implement process improvements that reduce defects, shorten cycles, and improve delivery predictability.
- Lead and mentor QA engineers, promoting a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence.
- Partner with delivery and product teams to ensure quality is built in from ideation to release.
- Help evolve the client's QA maturity, balancing manual and automated strategies, testing at scale, and test governance.
- Track and report on quality KPIs to show impact, justify investments, and continuously improve the process.
Qualifications
- 7+ years in QA, with 3+ years in QA management, leadership, or strategic roles.
- Proven experience defining QA strategy and influencing cross-functional teams.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycles (Agile, Waterfall, DevOps) and how QA fits in.
- Experience building or scaling QA teams and processes from scratch or during transformation efforts.
- Familiarity with test automation frameworks, though hands-on coding is not mandatory.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills — you know how to sell the value of quality to clients and delivery leaders.
- Strong knowledge of testing types, including functional, exploratory, integration, UAT, performance, and regression testing.
- Fluency in test planning, estimations, risk analysis, and reporting QA effectiveness.
- Fluent communication skills in English (both written & verbal).
