This is a hands-on role with an opportunity to influence testing strategy, tooling, and delivery practices. Youll be expected to:

Ensure robust coverage across functional, regression, non-functional, and security aspects.

Leverage SDLC and Agile principles to coach and support QA practices across the delivery lifecycle.

Conduct thorough manual testing of digital applications, including exploratory, functional, and non-functional testing.

Maintain and extend existing automated regression test suites using Selenium or equivalent tools.

Support test automation in pipelines, ensuring high visibility of test results and actionable feedback loops.

Own the defect lifecycle: review, triage, prioritise, and escalate defects as needed.

Anticipate risks, proactively remove blockers, and uphold test traceability and quality standards.

Liaise closely with client stakeholders and cross-functional teams to align testing efforts with project goals.

Provide clear, concise updates on test progress, risks, and results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
