  • Provide technical guidance and oversight to test engineers on the project, ensuring alignment to the plan and consistency in execution.
  • Define and track quality KPIs and test coverage metrics, and regularly report progress to project stakeholders.
  • Communicate status clearly and proactively escalate issues that impact delivery timelines or quality.
  • Facilitate test result walkthroughs and sign-offs with cross-functional teams.
