You can keep up-to-date with our work on the Home Office DDaT blog.

**Job description**:
Quality Assurance and Testing (QAT) is an important part of the Home Office mission. Everyone is responsible for quality and we have a team of skilled people who make sure quality is delivered in the most effective way. This means getting fast feedback, understanding how a service performs, and helping the development team to make more informed decisions. We value automating as much of the test effort as possible allowing our team of specialists and domain experts to undertake better evaluations.

Working within a significant area of IT delivery you will have an opportunity to promote quality outcomes and value across the organisation, further developing your own analytical, delivery management and leadership skills with a focus on helping the organisation to deliver high quality outcomes at pace whilst honing stakeholder engagement and continuous improvement.

As a Principal Quality Assurance and Testing (QAT) Delivery Owner, you’ll be critical to overseeing QAT projects, dealing with risks and issues, setting the direction for QAT and implementing QAT approaches.

Working across multiple complex project teams, you will promote quality outcomes and values across the organisation. You will further develop your leadership skills with a focus on helping the project team deliver high quality outcomes at pace.

You will work with business stakeholders, understanding their needs and translating them into a QAT approach. Within the DDaT community, you will lead on sharing and collaborating with others to promote the value of QAT.

There is an outstanding opportunity to lead the delivery of QAT services for our mission-critical DDaT Police and Public Protection Technology (PPPT) function. PPPT is structured into several large-scale delivery portfolios, each portfolio delivering significant national scale capabilities to our customer base.

**Location**:
**Recruitment and Retention Allowance (RRA)**:
**Person specification**:

- Setting the programme level strategy for the initiation, delivery and development of QAT solutions, working towards delivery using product lifecycle management approaches.

- Establishing and maintaining effective commercial partnerships, working with a diverse range of specialist QAT service providers to build multi-disciplined teams.
- Leading QAT teams throughout the delivery process through the influential provision of technical leadership and guidance.
- Delivering a refreshed QA Strategy across the programme to align with the Portfolio's Target Operating Model.
- Identifying and driving forward the development of QAT capabilities within the QAT organisation, including continuous professional development and exploitation of new and emerging industry leading technologies.
