What You'll Do

We’re looking for a Senior Test Lead to join our UK team in overseeing our external QA teams in the EU across a range of products including Fortnite Battle Royale and Fall Guys.

• Ensure vendors are providing the best test leads and testers and that they are positioned to make the greatest possible impact.
• Review and feedback on test plans and test cases owned by external vendors to maintain standards.
• Supervise high-level tasking of testers and test leads to ensure the highest priority testing tasks are done, providing constructive guidance to third-party vendors on their performance.
• Track and report on defect rates of test cycles and escalate major concerns appropriately.
• Support the growth of our internal QA teams with coaching and mentorship.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years Test Experience with 3+ years of leadership and management experience.
• Experience managing 3rd party testing consultancies.
• Experience managing and growing people effectively beyond low-level testers.
• Technical software or troubleshooting skills (degree in Computer Science or equivalent, self-taught, or relevant experience).
• Employees will be required to be within commutable distance to the assigned office or studio to be available for in-person meetings and events as needed.
• Experience working with bug tracking systems such as Jira, including logging bugs, tracking active issues, following up on completed tasks, and reporting on issues and project status.
