Strategic Partnership Model – Work closely with product, architecture, release management, and enterprise quality leadership
Modern Testing Focus – Automation, AI‑assisted testing, and continuous improvement are encouraged
Location Flexibility – Open to fully remote candidates with quarterly travel

Partner closely with product teams, release management, architecture, and enterprise quality leadership
Ensure system integrators adhere to enterprise testing standards, KPIs, and governance models
Act as an escalation point for quality issues, delivery risks, and process deviations
Drive continuous improvement in testing processes, automation strategy, and quality outcomes

Proven experience leading large, multi‑release portfolios in matrixed environments

Ability to challenge teams constructively and enforce quality standards

Tools & Technologies You’ll Work With

Jira with Xray (test & product management)
Automation: Playwright (web), Appium (mobile via Sauce Labs), Karate (API)

Exposure to AI‑assisted or modern testing practices
Experience working in regulated industries (utilities strongly preferred)
