  • Expand test automation and data validation automation to improve speed, coverage, and repeatability.
  • Guide selection and effective use of QA tools (test management, defect tracking, API/data testing, automation).
  • Use quality metrics, defect trends, and retrospectives to reduce recurring issues and strengthen release confidence.

  • 3+ years of people leadership and/or QA program leadership with responsibility for setting direction, managing priorities, and driving outcomes across multiple teams.
  • Demonstrated expertise testing data-centric products such as dashboards, reports, data models, ETL or ELT pipelines, APIs, and analytics platforms.
  • Experience with SQL and data validation techniques, including reconciliation, source-to-target validation, and business rule testing.
  • Experience establishing QA processes, standards, and operating models that can be used consistently across products or delivery teams.
  • Experience with test management, defect tracking, API testing, and automation tools; ability to apply automation pragmatically in support of data and analytics quality goals.
  • Familiarity with modern delivery practices and tools such as Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Agile delivery methods.
  • Strong ability to partner with technical and business stakeholders, translate requirements into test strategy, and influence quality outcomes across organizational boundaries.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills, with the ability to balance strategic oversight and direct execution.
  • Preferred experience with healthcare, regulated data environments, or validation of metrics and reporting used for operational or executive decision-making.
