This is a senior, hands-on role where you will take ownership of quality across the full delivery lifecycle while building and maturing a QA function.

If you have led QA in complex SaaS or financial systems, enjoy working closely with product and engineering teams, and want to influence delivery quality at a strategic level, this role offers a strong next step.

As QA Lead, you will be accountable for test execution, release readiness, and the evolution of QA processes. You’ll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring new functionality meets expectations and is delivered on time and to a high standard.

Responsibilities

Lead the execution of functional testing, ensuring alignment with documented requirements and acceptance criteria.
Own end-to-end test completion for new functionality, including regression coverage and go-live readiness.
Identify, log, track, and drive resolution of defects through to closure.
Communicate testing outcomes clearly and effectively with development and product teams.
Partner with Product to ensure clarity and shared understanding of expected functionality.
Ensure testing activities are completed in line with planned release schedules.
Proactively identify product improvements and opportunities to enhance QA processes and practices.
Contribute to building and scaling a robust QA testing function, including tools, processes, and resourcing where required.

Required Skills and Experience

Proven QA Lead or senior QA experience within a financial, SaaS, or technology-driven environment.
Strong understanding of QA best practices across functional, regression, and release testing.
Experience working with agile methodologies and tools such as Jira, Confluence, Scrum, or Kanban.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a customer-focused mindset.
Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a hands-on approach to testing.
Excellent communication skills and experience working closely with cross-functional teams.

If you are passionate about Tech and looking to thrive in a dynamic environment, we encourage you to apply.
