• Ensure comprehensive end-to-end test coverage and coordinate testing across development, QA, and business teams.
• Lead defect triage, prioritization, retesting, and closure while monitoring quality risks and defect trends.
• Support release-readiness reviews and provide quality recommendations to project leadership and Government stakeholders.
• Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, defects, and validation results.
• Ensure testing addresses applicable privacy, PII/PHI, security, and NIST-related requirements and maintain documentation supporting auditability.
• Coordinate UAT with clinical, administrative, and Government stakeholders.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and provide QA input during requirements and design activities to ensure requirements and acceptance criteria are testable.
• Identify opportunities for test automation and communicate testing status, risks, dependencies, and impediments to project leadership.

• 10+ years of software quality assurance experience supporting healthcare IT or complex enterprise systems.
