**Job summary**:
Team members have specialised knowledge and a calling to build on it. We want the best people to come to the Home Office and work in the diverse roles and communities they’re passionate about. This is how we produce exceptional outcomes.

The Home Office has created a government-leading bespoke career framework that enables career planning, while ensuring our people can be the best they can be. The framework includes Heads of Role, who are industry specialists. They build communities, set standards for what ‘good’ looks like, and ensure we have the right people in the right jobs at the right time.

We also have a profession management unit, which aims to provide the best professional experience to all our technical staff with a real passion for - and focus on - continuous professional development. We invest heavily in our people as part of growing our collective capability.

**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.

As a Lead Quality Assurance and Testing (QAT) Delivery Owner, you’ll oversee QAT projects, dealing with risks and issues and forming project stakeholder relationships.

You will work with delivery partners to make sure QAT is embedded by default into the development approach.

Working at project or programme level, you will promote and oversee quality outcomes and values across the organisation.

You will further develop your analytical, delivery management and leadership skills with a focus on helping the project team deliver high quality outcomes at pace whilst honing stakeholder engagement skills.

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.

**Location**

QAT base locations are primarily in Croydon, with a small number of roles in Central London. All QAT roles require flexibility of location, including working from supplier sites and other business locations across the UK and occasionally abroad.

Your main day to day responsibilities will be (but not limited to):

- setting the programme or project level strategy for the initiation, delivery and development of QAT solutions
- working in collaboration with other delivery partners in QAT, DDaT and more broadly across the organisation, to ensure that effective and efficient QAT capabilities are developed and fully integrated into the software development process
- establishing and maintaining effective commercial partnerships, working with a diverse range of specialist QAT service providers to build multi-disciplined teams
- supporting QAT teams throughout the delivery process through the provision of technical guidance and support
- assisting in the design, build, deployment and improvement of QAT capabilities (people, process and technology) which support the implementation of QA, Testing and Software Development strategies

**Essential skills**
- defining QAT strategies at programme or project level, aligning to business goals and delivery approach (including within modern continuous integration/release and Agile environments)
- ensuring critical activities including automation, performance, security, accessibility and acceptance are embedded within the QAT/development approach
- translating strategies into practical, risk-based plans, including test and assurance activities across the delivery lifecycle and coordinating technical dependencies, schedules, and cost/resource profiles
- working at leadership level, establishing and maintaining programme and project level stakeholder networks and actively engaging other leaders to communicate and agree complex strategies and technical plans
