• Deliver a scalable approach to functional, automation and non-functional testing (performance, reliability, cloud-readiness).
• Collaborate across product, engineering and compliance to ship high-quality software on time and to budget.
• Use data - defect trends, RCA, coverage - to prevent recurrence and improve outcomes for users in local government services.

About you

• Senior QA leader with strong people management experience and a track record in both Agile and waterfall delivery.
• Hands-on knowledge of tooling (e.g. Jira/Xray, Jenkins, Selenium, Katalon, Postman/SoapUI) and building automation & performance frameworks.
• Confident influencing across levels and suppliers, aligning teams to common goals in fast-changing environments.
• Experience in, or exposure to, the local government domain is advantageous.
