• Proven ability to lead QA activities across cross-functional and distributed teams without direct authority. 

• Experience creating test strategies, readiness criteria, execution plans, and reusable QA artifacts.

• Experience with test management tools, defect tracking systems, and quality metrics reporting. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead end-to-end QA activities for enterprise POS solutions, including functional, integration, regression, upgrade, and UAT testing, as well as test strategy, scope, risks, dependencies, and go/no-go readiness recommendations. 

• Serve as the primary QA contact for customer programs, managing customer testing, lab validation, deployment readiness, issue triage, and stakeholder alignment across internal and customer teams. 

• Translate customer workflows, business requirements, and deployment risks into actionable test plans, validation strategies, and readiness assessments. 

• Troubleshoot and diagnose complex issues across software, configuration, integration, data, hardware, and environments using logs, APIs, databases, system configurations, and POS device behavior. 

• Validate customer-reported issues and ensure defects are actionable by confirming reproducibility, expected behavior, configuration context, logs, test evidence, and business impact before Development engagement. 

• Establish and maintain parity between customer and internal lab environments, including POS devices and system configurations. 

• Define and uphold QA standards for test coverage, defect quality, evidence capture, lab readiness, release readiness, RCA, and customer acceptance. 

• Create and review test plans, execution guidance, readiness assessments, and handoff packages to enable consistent execution across distributed QA teams. 

• Drive defect prevention, RCA, and continuous quality improvements based on defect trends, test evidence, and customer feedback. 

• Communicate test progress, risks, issues, and readiness clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong customer relationships and stakeholder trust. 

• Clear, evidence-based communication of risks and readiness for testing, deployments, and releases. 

• High-quality test planning, execution, defect validation, and RCA leading to defect prevention.
