Key Responsibilities

1. Quality Strategy, Portfolio Governance & Standards

• Own quality strategy, standards, and delivery health across multiple products, projects, and peak traffic periods
• Define org-wide QA processes, test automation frameworks, and the core quality metrics executive leadership relies on
• Partner with Engineering, Product, and business leaders on release readiness, risk management, and multi-product sprint execution
• Establish a high bar for engineering standards, test coverage, and code craftsmanship across functional and automated testing

2. Test Automation Architecture, Infrastructure & AI Innovation

• Design, evolve, and scale modern test automation frameworks (Playwright, TypeScript, Cypress) used across the QA org
• Drive AI-augmented testing as a baseline standard across teams (AI-assisted test generation, maintenance, coverage analysis, and triage)
• Own CI/CD test integration, test infrastructure, reporting, and proactive flaky-test reduction to ensure fast, reliable build pipelines
• Stay hands-on - write and review automation code, troubleshoot complex pipeline failures, and set technical standards by example

3. Leadership, Team Growth & Talent Bench

• Lead, coach, and mentor QA Leads, Senior QAs, and Automation Engineers into autonomous leaders
• Build a multiplier culture where success is measured by your team outperforming and outgrowing you
• Build and scale the QA organization by maintaining an always-on recruitment pipeline ahead of business growth

• Embed quality, automation, and continuous integration into the end-to-end product delivery lifecycle
• Represent quality in company-wide planning, resource allocation, and prioritization across competing product lines
• Proactively manage technical debt, test environment risks, and opportunities for testing innovation
