**Sounds great What will I be doing?**
You will be responsible for the people management and personal development of our test team including coaching, mentoring, and career growth, and technical leadership in terms of test technology, automation, and QA and test processes and strategy.
As you might imagine, this project is BIG and involves lots of technology change that requires excellence in test and QA to be successful.
**What will I be doing? (But in bullet points)**
- Lead, mentor, and manage a team of QA engineers and testers.
- Coordinate with software development teams to align quality assurance strategies with development processes.
- Ensure comprehensive testing of all software products, including unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing.
- Manage automated testing tools and processes.
- Continuously evaluate and improve QA processes and methodologies.
- Work closely with development teams to identify and resolve quality issues.

- Excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

**Personal Qualities**
- Good communication. It sounds clichéd but things like being able to express your ideas clearly, talking to non-technical colleagues and effective feedback during code reviews are incredibly important.
- A desire to learn - we want people who want to improve themselves.
- Suggest improvements. We're constantly looking to improve the way we do things. From managing our workloads, to the way we deliver our code. We have an open attitude to new ideas. If you don’t like the way something is done all we ask is that you suggest a better way of doing it.
- Think of new and unique ways to improve our customers experience - ultimately that is what tombola is about.
