Test Lead (QA Strategy) 6-Month Contract Role Summary We are representing a leading technology consultancy on the search for a deep subject matter expert in quality assurance. This is a 6-month contract to act as a strategic Test Lead for their client, an innovative wearable tech company based in the Western Cape. This is not a typical testing role. Why This Opportunity is for You Define the Blueprint (A Greenfield Role) – You will be the architect of a new quality strategy. You will not be inheriting old systems; you will be designing the future state of testing for the entire product line. Act as a Strategic Advisor – You will be the primary testing expert, consulting directly with the client's leadership. Your recommendations on best practices, tools, and methodologies will directly shape their approach to quality. Work in an Innovative Sector – You will be tackling the unique challenges that come from testing integrated hardware and software. Be the Subject Matter Expert – You will have the autonomy and backing to implement your vision for quality. This role is ideal for a senior professional who is confident in their expertise and can lead by example. What You Will Be Doing Conducting an assessment of the current testing landscape and identifying all gaps and opportunities. Designing and documenting a comprehensive, end-to-end test strategy that effectively blends both manual and automated testing. Advising leadership on the best tools, frameworks, and methodologies for their specific product needs. Establishing clear processes for test planning, case design, execution, defect management, and reporting. Leading by example with hands‑on execution of both manual and automated tests to establish the baseline. What You Will Bring Proven, senior‑level experience as a Test Lead, QA Manager, or QA Architect. Demonstrable experience of having built and implemented a test strategy from scratch. Deep expertise in both manual testing methodologies and modern test automation principles and frameworks. A strong consultative mindset, with the confidence and communication skills to advise and influence senior stakeholders. Experience with testing integrated hardware / software products (such as IoT, mobile, or wearables) is highly beneficial. You must be based in the Western Cape for the duration of the contract. #J-18808-Ljbffr
