A passion for mentoring other less experienced colleagues. Strong team spirit and taking ownership and responsibility. Experience of agile, DevOps and non-agile quality engineering practices. Together we'll make it possible... We promote an inclusive and encouraging culture - it's one of the many things our colleagues love about working with us! We're keen to support all our colleagues in finding new opportunities. Whatever your aspiration, you can also expect excellent benefits, personal development, and a career that's enriching and full of opportunity.

QA Lead/Manager Fully Remote - UK based applications only. A blank canvas. That sounds so appealing, doesn't it? QA Managers strive for the freedom to implement their vision of how a slick QA function should look but rarely get it. You'd get this freedom with this Bournemouth-based Fintech innovator. You'd be the QA Manager/Lead for a high-growth Fintech company and would work closely with the Head of Product and the in-house development team. You'd inherit a small testing team of 3 and work with a wider development team of around 10. They hold a flat hierarchy structure, so no multiple-level management or laborious approval processes here. If you have a clear vision of how the QA function could be shaped, it will happen. You'll fulfil a team leadership role in both a technical capacity by providing clear strategy on automation tolling/frameworks and from a management perspective by organising tasks and technical up-skilling. Your challenge will be to lead the QA function as they transition from manual testing to automation. You will be required to be hands-on to help understand and solve complex technical problems. Other goals will include growing and scaling the QA team in line with business growth. Requirements: You could be a Head of Testing who needs/wants to take a step down or a QA Lead/ or Senior QA ready to handle the step up to 'QA Manager'. What matters is your strong technical background with JavaScript/C# automation tools as well as Selenium web driver. Ideally, you'll have experience setting up an automation test environment from scratch and leading a small QA team. Bonus Skills: ISTQB Certified Knowledge of PHP, JavaScript Demonstrable experience of working on Cloud / SaaS products Benefits: My client offers a competitive salary, pension and benefits package, which includes private health cover and access to a leading flexible benefits portal.
