Your impact

As QA Lead, you strengthen quality across 's product and engineering organisation. You define what quality means for us, translate that into concrete practices, and ensure those practices are consistently applied throughout the product development lifecycle.

You'll be the first QA professional in the organisation , setting up the QA discipline within Engineering and shaping how teams think about risk, edge cases, and trade-offs - especially early in discovery. Testing remains a shared responsibility within teams; your role is to provide direction, structure, and alignment at scale.

You'll work closely with the Head of Product, and product development teams, operating as an individual contributor with organisation-wide impact.

In this role, you'll be directly reporting to Daniela, Manager Engineering.

What you'll do

• Define and maintain a quality strategy that is shared and applied across product development teams.

• Bring a quality perspective into discovery, design, refinements, and planning - helping teams surface assumptions, risks, and edge cases early.

• Partner with Engineering Team Leads and Product Owners on quality-related decisions and prioritisation.

• Guide teams in documenting business flows, key edge cases, and technical approaches, with clear standards and ownership.

• Support and facilitate testing for high-impact or high-risk features and initiatives .

• Act as the quality point of contact for complex initiatives such as platform migrations, major refactors, and external integrations.

• Collaborate with engineering on testing environments, test data, and tooling to ensure they are reliable and fit for purpose.

• Scale quality knowledge and practices through coaching, templates, and ways of working - rather than embedding in a single team.

What you bring

• Senior-level experience in QA or quality leadership.

• Proven experience setting up a QA strategy or discipline and gaining buy-in from both business and technical stakeholders.

• Experience working on complex systems, platforms, or large-scale changes.

• Comfortable influencing across teams without direct authority.

• Strong communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical contexts.

• Familiarity with Jira and GitHub (or similar tooling).

• Nice to have: experience with test automation frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright) and integration testing (e.g. Pact).

• Nice to have: familiarity with React, Scala, and cloud platforms.
