Senior Quality Engineering Lead
About the role
The Senior Quality Engineering Lead will work remotely for an initial three-month contract, leading the implementation of quality engineering and testing recommendations for an international client. The role involves establishing a sustainable quality engineering governance model and a standard testing framework, collaborating closely with internal teams, business stakeholders, project teams, and third-party vendors. Key responsibilities include governance, framework development, requirements traceability, risk-based testing, Azure DevOps Test Management, SIT and UAT readiness, and ensuring a smooth transition and handover. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in test governance, risk-based testing, Azure DevOps Test Plans, Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE, and coordinating testing activities across multiple teams.

- Excellent written and verbal English communication, with strong stakeholder engagement, facilitation and influencing skills.
Nice to have
- Experience with test environment management and test data management.
