Quality Assurance Lead

Type: Contract

Start: Monday 5th January 2025

We’re looking for a hands‑on Lead QA Consultant who thrives in complex environments and isn’t afraid to dive deep into testing, tooling, and delivery. If you know how to assess where a business stands, roll up your sleeves, and build practical QA solutions that work in the real world, this is the role for you.

• Directly assess and establish baseline QA practices, working side‑by‑side with teams to understand gaps and implement immediate improvements.
• Create practical 3, 6 and 12‑month QA plans that focus on real delivery impact—not just documentation.
• Lead from the front in building automation frameworks, writing scripts, integrating tools, and setting up pipelines.
• Evaluate client environments first‑hand to select the most effective automation technologies, then implement and optimise them.
• Work directly with low‑code/no‑code platforms, designing and executing test approaches tailored to their unique workflows.
• Embed yourself in client delivery teams, ensuring QA is active, visible, and continuously improving throughout the development process.
• Mentor and support QA engineers through hands‑on demonstrations, pairing, and practical coaching.

• Strong hands‑on QA background with direct experience testing, automating, and delivering within complex systems.
• Proven ability to build QA strategies that are grounded in practical execution.
• Deep experience with automation testing tools (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, etc.) and the ability to select and implement the right tool for each client.
• Experience working with low‑code/no‑code platforms and adapting test strategies accordingly.
• Ability to collaborate closely with engineers, product teams, and stakeholders to drive quality through delivery.
• A proactive, sleeves‑rolled‑up approach to problem‑solving.
