The Challenge Ahead
Reporting to the Sr. QA Director, the Sr. QA Manager works alongside the development team to build and evolve a strong onsite Quality Assurance program inclusive of Quality Engineering and Development QA Support. Pushing quality, efficiency and tech driven solutions in the QA discipline.
They are responsible for hiring, mentoring, training and shaping the onsite Development QA group into a strong, technically proficient team focused on Defect Prevention and Containment and leveraging the benefits of Automated Testing.
They will ensure the QA Program has the correct structure and skills and an effective organization and ownership split that ensures everyone is fully utilized and the structure is focused on upstream bug prevention through tools/automation and development alignment rather than black box testing.
They should be the Development Teams primary point of contact when asking for support and should factor this into their plans in addition to helping build out long term test strategies with each QA Analyst and Quality Engineer on their team. They are also responsible for managing the relationship with the Development Team and building strong ties with leadership of all disciplines.

They will also need to be able to track multiple deliverables, both locally and remotely, and be able to rapidly change plans and process as needed to react to changing Development priorities.

The role requires strong Project Management and Communication skills as work will be coordinated between multiple sites and time zones. All groups will need to be clear on plans, deliverables and what Development regard as success criteria.
