• 8+ years in Quality Assurance / Quality Engineering with leadership across teams.
• Experience defining QA strategy, standards, or large-scale transformations with measurable results.

• Define and evolve standards for test architecture, coverage, evidence, testability, and release readiness.
• Drive end-to-end QA process improvements and embed shift-left practices across the SDLC with cross-team collaboration.
• Own the strategic direction of the QA toolchain and automation architecture; validate decisions hands-on.
• Benchmark market practices including AI and turn findings into transformation initiatives.
• Define scalable release-quality principles and provide technical recommendations for risks.
• Lead cross-team investigations for critical incidents and quality problems without a clear owner.
• Establish meaningful quality metrics and communicate trends and risks to engineering leadership.
