• Strong track record of managing offshore/outsourced teams and vendor partnerships.
• Exposure to frameworks such as CMMi, TMMi, Six Sigma, or ISO 9001 is a plus.
• Excellent communication, cross-functional collaboration, and executive presence.

Responsibilities

• Define and implement the company-wide quality engineering strategy, roadmap, and operating model.
• Build, mentor, and inspire a global QE organization spanning test automation, monitoring, and compliance.
• Architect and implement automated solutions for UI, APIs, data pipelines, stream processing, analytics, and performance/reliability testing.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, DevOps, and TechOps leaders to embed quality practices throughout the SDLC.

• Define QA&C KPIs, dashboards, and tools to provide transparency on product quality and system health.
• Leverage customer feedback, defect data, and system monitoring to implement proactive detection and prevention frameworks.
