QA Lead/Manager Fully Remote - UK based applications only. A blank canvas. That sounds so appealing, doesn't it? QA Managers strive for the freedom to implement their vision of how a slick QA function should look but rarely get it. You'd get this freedom with this Bournemouth-based Fintech innovator. You'd be the QA Manager/Lead for a high-growth Fintech company and would work closely with the Head of Product and the in-house development team. You'd inherit a small testing team of 3 and work with a wider development team of around 10. They hold a flat hierarchy structure, so no multiple-level management or laborious approval processes here. If you have a clear vision of how the QA function could be shaped, it will happen. You'll fulfil a team leadership role in both a technical capacity by providing clear strategy on automation tolling/frameworks and from a management perspective by organising tasks and technical up-skilling. Your challenge will be to lead the QA function as they transition from manual testing to automation. You will be required to be hands-on to help understand and solve complex technical problems. Other goals will include growing and scaling the QA team in line with business growth. Requirements: You could be a Head of Testing who needs/wants to take a step down or a QA Lead/ or Senior QA ready to handle the step up to 'QA Manager'. What matters is your strong technical background with JavaScript/C# automation tools as well as Selenium web driver. Ideally, you'll have experience setting up an automation test environment from scratch and leading a small QA team. Bonus Skills: ISTQB Certified Knowledge of PHP, JavaScript Demonstrable experience of working on Cloud / SaaS products Benefits: My client offers a competitive salary, pension and benefits package, which includes private health cover and access to a leading flexible benefits portal.
