- Help define and refine testing strategy for a large enterprise platform (Traverse)
- Recommend improvements across test automation, coverage, and overall quality approach
- Introduce scalable frameworks and best practices where needed
Process Improvement & Communication
- Help establish clearer QA processes, standards, and documentation
- Improve how QA strategy, progress, and risks are communicated to leadership and stakeholders
- Provide structure around reporting, metrics, and release readiness
Collaboration
- Partner with development and leadership teams to align on quality expectations
- Act as a sounding board for QA and engineering decisions
- Support cross-functional alignment between QA, Dev, and business stakeholders
Qualifications
- 10+ years in QA / Quality Engineering

- Experience building or advising on QA strategy for large-scale projects
- Prior experience mentoring or coaching QA leaders or teams
- Solid understanding of CI/CD and modern testing practices
