You demand autonomy, and offer it to your team, who you are passionate about mentoring and growing into a high performing Quality Assurance powerhouse. You are comfortable and confident in coordinating QA resources across multiple concurrent projects, helping drive the delivery of key Engineering initiatives, and engaging and communicating with key stakeholders within and external to the business.
