• Defect Tracking & Communication: Log, track, and triage defects in Jira; collaborate with consultants and developers to ensure timely and accurate resolutions.
• Client-Facing QA Leadership: Run test plan reviews, defect walkthroughs, and test sign-off sessions with clients. Facilitate alignment on acceptance criteria and quality expectations.
• Document Test Artefacts: Use Xray for Jira to create and manage test repositories, executions, and reports that serve both internal and client-facing needs.
• Support Continuous Improvement: Contribute to QA team rituals, retrospectives, and process enhancement. Stay current with QA trends and advocate for smarter testing practices.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• A relevant degree (e.g. Computer Science, Information Systems) or equivalent practical experience (minimum 3 years in a QA role).
• Proven ability to test complex business processes and data-heavy applications.
• Experience with structured test design, execution, and defect management tools (ideally Jira and Xray).
• Strong stakeholder communication skills — comfortable running workshops, demos, and walkthroughs with clients.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a methodical approach to identifying issues and validating functionality.
• Familiarity with software development lifecycles (Agile/Scrum), and STLC best practices.
• Exposure to automation testing tools such as Playwright (or similar) is a bonus.
• Background in Financial Services, Business Analysis, or Project Delivery is a bonus.

BENEFITS:

• Relaxed Dress Code

• Group Risk Cover
• Employee Wellbeing Program
• 20 Days Paid Leave
• Ongoing Staff Appreciation Events
• Access To Learning Platforms
• Working With Experts Across The Globe
