Job Purpose:
The Lead Quality Engineer will play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful delivery of high-quality software across a complex and multi-team programme. Initially, this role will be dedicated to a strategic initiative focused on replacing a legacy platform with a new, scalable solution supporting a critical line of business. The programme comprises multiple Agile Product Teams, each delivering essential components.
The Lead Quality Engineer will be responsible for defining and driving the test strategy across all workstreams, ensuring cohesive quality assurance practices, and collaborating closely with IT and business stakeholders.
As the programme progresses and stabilizes, the role will expand to provide ongoing oversight and test governance across a portfolio of smaller Product Teams, ensuring consistent quality practices and continuous improvement across the broader delivery landscape.
This is a hands-on leadership role that combines strategic planning, team coordination, stakeholder engagement, and practical QE expertise to embed quality throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
This role will have a matrix-based reporting structure, reporting operationally to the Quality Engineering Manager and functionally to the respective Programme Delivery Manager / Engineering Delivery Manager for delivery oversight.
Key Responsibilities:
Test Strategy & Planning
Define, document, and own the end-to-end Test Strategy for the programme.
Ensure the strategy covers functional, non-functional, integration and data migration.
Collaborate with the data migration team to derive the test approach with focus on data completeness, accuracy, and transformation logic (where applicable).
Provide guidance to the business teams in defining and developing the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) plan for the programme.
Drive risk-based test planning, including non-functional testing (e.g., performance, scalability, data integrity).
Experience with test automation frameworks and principles, with the ability to implement and scale automation to accelerate testing across agile teams.
Ensure traceability from requirements through to test execution and defect closure.
