About the position

We are seeking a skilled QA Test Manager with a strong background in automation testing to lead our quality assurance efforts. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with Selenium and other automation tools, and a proven track record of managing and executing test strategies across multiple projects. This position will initially be hybrid, transitioning to a full-time onsite role in Plano, TX, after a period of adjustment. The QA Test Manager will be responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining comprehensive test strategies and plans for multiple projects, ensuring that testing is integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The role requires collaboration with development teams to define and communicate testing scope, approach, resources, schedule, and deliverables. In addition to test strategy and planning, the QA Test Manager will lead the design, development, and maintenance of automated test scripts using Selenium. They will oversee the execution of automated test suites and analyze test results to ensure product quality. The manager will also evaluate and recommend automation tools and frameworks that best meet project needs. A key aspect of this role is team leadership and management, where the QA Test Manager will manage and mentor a team of QA engineers, providing guidance on best practices in testing and automation. Regular performance reviews and constructive feedback will be part of the responsibilities to ensure effective communication and collaboration between QA teams, developers, and stakeholders. The QA Test Manager will monitor and improve the quality of the software by identifying issues, risks, and defects early in the development process. They will establish and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of testing efforts and drive continuous improvement in QA processes and methodologies. Reporting and documentation are also critical components of this role, as the manager will prepare and present detailed test reports, maintain accurate documentation of test plans, cases, and scripts, and ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices in software testing.
