QA Lead, IT​/Tech, IT QA Tester ​/ Automation

TEKsystems is seeking a QA Lead who can manage and guide all aspects of the QA and test management lifecycle. This role is not about building new processes from scratch; instead, it focuses on teaching, enforcing, and operationalizing existing QA processes, ensuring teams follow established standards, timelines, and best practices. The ideal candidate is highly organized, process oriented, and experienced in hands-on QA leadership within both manual and automated testing environments.

* Key Responsibilities:

* * Test Planning & Execution
* * Partner with business stakeholders and product owners to define test cases, ensuring full coverage of business and functional requirements.

* Convert test cases into a comprehensive test plan and test schedule.

* Track test execution across teams, ensuring testing stays on schedule.

* Serve as the primary point of contact for all testers; follow up, unblock, and coordinate to maintain progress.

* Test Data & Environment Coordination
* * Understand the test data requirements needed to execute each test case.

* Ensure appropriate data is sourced or ETL'd into test environments.

* Close existing organizational gaps by ensuring teams understand how test data ties into the testing process.

* Defect Management
* * Own and manage all defects throughout the testing lifecycle.

* Partner closely with development teams, product owners, and business SMEs to triage, track, and drive resolution.

* Utilize Azure Dev Ops for test management, tracking, and status reporting.

* Process Ownership & Leadership
* * Reinforce existing QA processes and make sure all practice areas adhere to them.

* Provide guidance, clarification, and standardization across teams.

* Support ongoing QA automation efforts (tracking progress-not writing scripts day-to-day).

* Preferred Required Skills & Experience
* * Strong background in QA leadership, test planning, and test lifecycle management.

* Hands-on experience writing automated test cases and working collaboratively with automation engineers.

* Familiarity with automation frameworks such as:

* Selenium

* Cucumber / BDD ("Given/When/Then")

* Test suites and regression frameworks

* Experience with Azure Dev Ops for test management.

* Experience with Jira or similar tracking tools.

* Ability to manage multiple testers, keep test cycles on schedule, and clearly communicate status.
