What you'll be doing- Own and define the QA strategy across products

You will be leading a highly skilled, established QA team, while still staying hands-on with automation and strategy. The product itself is a well-known platform you've likely come across, adding real-world impact to the work you'll be doing.
If this is something for you, feel free to reach out or apply to the job and I'll be in touch!
