• Embed within agile delivery teams, contributing to ceremonies and working closely with stakeholders to clarify and validate requirements
• Plan and execute structured testing activities, including defect management, prioritisation and clear communication of results
• Drive the growth of automated testing - you don’t need to be hands on with it yourself
• Provide expert guidance throughout acceptance, release and deployment stages to support smooth, low risk delivery
• Lead, coach and support senior engineers, fostering capability growth and encouraging best practice across the team
• Exploring emerging approaches including AI driven tooling

What they’re looking for:

• Proven experience leading or coordinating testing activities for mission critical systems
• Strong interest in technology, innovation, and AI
• Solid background in manual testing across complex systems (mobile, hardware integrated, or distributed platforms)
• Knowledge of automation tools without needing to be necessarily hands on yourself
• Familiarity with CI/CD environments (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab) and modern QA practices
• A curious, pragmatic mindset and drive for continuous improvement

This is a company where testing is highly valued and you’ll have a real opportunity to influence strategy, shape the future of testing within the organisation, and contribute to technology that makes a real difference.
