Work You'll Do

The Senior Manager of Quality Engineering for Global Employer Services Technology Center (GESTC) is responsible for defining, implementing, and driving the overall quality strategy across the organization. This role creates the proper organizational structure to support multiple software code releases, many of which are happening simultaneously. The role oversees Quality Engineering (QE) team members, establishes quality standards, optimizes processes, and ensures products being deployed meet the highest levels of reliability, performance, and customer satisfaction. This role works in close partnership with engineering to build and maintain shared quality infrastructure - providing development teams with the tools, frameworks, and standards they need to continuously validate their own work within the CI/CD pipeline. A core responsibility of this role is enabling and upskilling development teams to take active ownership of quality by developing and reinforcing practices like test-driven development and furthering our shift-left of testing so that quality becomes an engineering discipline rather than a downstream handoff.

Owns Vendor & Tool Selection and Governance: managing test tool selection and licensing, vendor relationships, and build-vs-buy decisions for the QE organization. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, strong collaborator, and hands-on leader with deep expertise and years of experience with traditional and modern QE methodologies.
