Test Planning & Execution

• Lead the planning and execution of test cycles across multiple environments (DEV, INT, UAT, PERF, STAGE), ensuring alignment with release milestones.
• Coordinate integrated testing across Salesforce, Channels, APIs, microservices, data platforms, and downstream systems.
• Ensure adequate test coverage for complex scenarios including data migrations, loyalty accrual/redemption flows, and crosssystem transactions.

Automation & Tooling

• Drive a test automationfirst approach, including UI, API, and integration test automation aligned to CI/CD pipelines.
• Partner with DevSecOps teams to integrate automated tests into build and deployment workflows.

Environment & Data Coordination

• Collaborate closely with Release & Activation and Environment Management teams to plan environment usage, data refreshes, and test sequencing.
• Ensure test data availability, data masking compliance, and synchronization across integrated systems.
• Support activation rehearsals, cutover testing, and postdeployment validation activities.

Defect Management & Risk Transparency

• Oversee defect triage, prioritization, and resolution across multiple teams and vendors.
• Provide transparent reporting on quality status, defect trends, and release risks to program leadership.
• Proactively identify quality risks related to scope changes, environment constraints, or crossprogram dependencies.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and mentor QE leads and test teams across internal and vendor resources.
• Partner closely with Product Owners, Engineering Leads, Release & Activation, Business Readiness, and Operations teams.
• Align with other transformation programs to coordinate shared integration testing and avoid environment or schedule conflicts.

Technical Competencies

• Strong understanding of modern Quality Engineering practices, including shiftleft testing and automationfirst strategies.
• Experience testing Salesforcebased solutions, including integrations, metadatadriven deployments, and sandbox strategies.
• Working knowledge of APIs, microservices, eventdriven architectures, and messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka/Confluent).
• Experience with test automation frameworks for UI and API testing.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, build validation, and automated quality gates.
• Understanding of performance, scalability, and resilience testing in cloud environments.
• Ability to interpret logs, test results, and defect patterns to guide rootcause analysis and remediation.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in Quality Engineering or QA leadership roles within largescale transformation programs.
• Proven experience managing quality across multiphase releases and complex enterprise ecosystems.
• Experience operating in hybrid delivery models (Agile, SAFe, or hybrid frameworks).
• Strong vendor coordination experience in outsourced or distributed delivery environments.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and executivelevel reporting skills.

Engagement Expectations

• Active participation in sprint ceremonies, release readiness forums, and crossprogram synchronization meetings.
• Regular reporting on quality metrics, risks, and readiness status.
• Availability during critical test cycles, cutover rehearsals, and production activation windows as required.

Success Measures

• Highconfidence releases supported by clear quality metrics and risk transparency.
• Reduced defect leakage into UAT and Production.
• Strong automation coverage aligned with CI/CD pipelines.
• Predictable, wellcoordinated test cycles across environments and dependent programs.
