Head of QA - FinTech | Up to £60,000 | Hybrid
Are you ready to take full ownership of Quality Assurance in a dynamic FinTech environment? Do you have the confidence to drive improvements and lead a global team with a focus on both automation and manual testing? If so, we want to hear from you!
We are looking for an experienced Head of QA to oversee and elevate the quality processes for a fast-growing FinTech company. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a senior leadership role where you will manage a team of 6 offshore testers (4 manual, 2 automation) and ensure the quality of every release. You will have the autonomy to refine QA strategies, sign off on releases, and provide quick-turnaround hot fixes, all while collaborating with key stakeholders across engineering, product, and customer success.
Why This Role?
* Leadership with Impact: Own the QA process and be the driving force behind improvements. You'll have the authority to challenge the status quo and ensure your team delivers top-tier results.
* Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy the balance of a hybrid work model that offers both in-office collaboration and remote work flexibility.
* Cutting-edge Tools: Join a company eager to evolve its testing suite, with a transition planned from Selenium to Playwright under your guidance.
* Career Growth: This is an ideal role for someone looking to expand their leadership skills in a supportive, innovation-driven environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Lead and mentor a global QA team (manual and automation testers), ensuring high-quality standards for all releases.
* Conduct a comprehensive analysis of current QA processes and present actionable suggestions for improvement.
* Collaborate with engineering, product, and customer success teams to ensure smooth and timely releases.
* Sign off on all product releases and manage the delivery of critical hot fixes.
* Spearhead the introduction of Playwright, transitioning the team from Selenium to this cutting-edge tool.
* Maintain strong oversight of the offshore team, confidently pushing back and providing feedback when needed.
What We're Looking For:
* Strong experience in automation testing, with hands-on expertise in tools like Selenium (and ideally Playwright).
* Proven leadership experience, particularly in managing and mentoring remote/offshore teams.
* Confidence to challenge existing processes and drive continuous improvement.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with stakeholders across various departments.
* A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
If you're a QA professional with a passion for leadership and innovation, and you’re ready to make a real impact, this could be the perfect next step in your career. Apply today to join a FinTech company that is pushing boundaries and constantly evolving.
