With global operations and rapid expansion, your skills and experience are needed. This role is a 3-day in-office and 2-day remote opportunity.

The Role:
As Senior QA Strategist, you will be responsible for defining and implementing the group's global QA strategy and roadmap to counter rapid growth and business objectives with a focus on integrating quality into all stages of the software development lifecycle.

Your Key Responsibilities:
  • Establish and monitor quality metrics (KPIs) to track QA effectiveness, driving continuous improvement and ensuring adherence to industry best practices.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address risks and quality-related issues, while working closely with clients to ensure their expectations are met in the final product.
  • Proactively identify and resolve potential quality issues to ensure client satisfaction and deliver a seamless user experience.
  • Provide strategic leadership to your team of highly qualified and accomplished employees - setting clear goals, offering mentorship, and developing their skills in QA principles and tools.
  • Implement and continuously improve a shift-left testing approach, ensuring performance testing is integrated early in the development process.
  • Reuse and optimise automated test scripts, converting them into load test scripts to enhance testing efficiency and accuracy.

About You:
  • A relevant tertiary degree would be beneficial.
  • 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance, with a strong background in complex SDLC projects.
  • Deep test automation knowledge using top industry tools and frameworks, with a focus on scalability and maintainability.
  • In-depth technical knowledge of software testing methodologies, techniques, and best practices.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proactive approach to identifying and resolving quality-related issues.
  • Excellent leadership and communication skills, effectively collaborating with and influencing stakeholders across all levels of the organisation.
  • Proven experience implementing and refining a shift-left testing approach, with a focus on incorporating performance testing early in the SDLC.
  • Strong ability to reuse automated test scripts and convert them into load test scripts, improving testing processes and efficiency.

What would be beneficial:
  • Experience with performance testing tools - any such as JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling are welcome.
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms.
  • Certified in software testing or related fields (e.g., ISTQB Expert Level Certification).
  • Experience working with Agile methodologies.
  • Industry experience - fintech would be a great bonus but isn't essential.
