Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Quality Assurance Manager to lead and mature our QA function for a complex, web-based Supplier Information Management SaaS / PaaS platform. You will oversee a team of 7 QA analysts / testers who partner closely with Product Engineering, Support Engineering, and the Product Release teams. This role combines hands-on test leadership, team management, QA strategy development, and a strong focus on automation, orchestration, and AI-driven quality improvements.

The ideal candidate is a strong people leader with deep QA expertise, experienced in delivering high-quality SaaS releases, developing robust test strategies, and driving improvements across processes, tooling, and team capabilities. This is a high-impact role with significant influence on product quality, release efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Essential Responsibilities And Duties :

Leadership & People Management

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 7-10 QA analysts / testers across multiple agile development squads.
  • Manage workload allocation, backlog prioritisation, and capacity planning.
  • Define and monitor QA performance metrics (coverage, defect leakage, automation %, test velocity, etc.).
  • Build a team culture centred on quality, accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning.
  • Champion best practices and modern QA principles across the organisation.

QA Strategy & Execution

  • Own and evolve the QA strategy, methodologies, and standards for functional, regression, integration, smoke, and exploratory testing.
  • Review feature specifications, stories, epics, and acceptance criteria to ensure clarity and testability.
  • Oversee the creation, review, and execution of test plans, test effort estimations, and delivery timelines.
  • Ensure the consistency, completeness, and quality of QA outputs across all development teams.
  • Drive a shift-left mindset, embedding QA earlier in the development lifecycle.
  • Test Automation & Process Optimisation

  • Oversee the design, implementation, and maintenance of automated test suites (preferably ACCELQ).
  • Partner with the Release team to integrate automated tests into CI / CD pipelines.
  • Identify opportunities for automation, test orchestration, and AI-led quality improvements.
  • Champion continuous improvement initiatives, reducing manual overhead and boosting efficiency.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Act as a key liaison between Product Engineering, Support Engineering, Customer Success, and Product Release.
  • Communicate test results, release readiness, risks, and mitigation plans clearly and effectively in English.
  • Ensure customer-reported issues feed back into test coverage and QA strategy.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product stakeholders to refine release quality gates and standards.
