• Partner with Engineering and Product to adjust schedules or scope when needed and escalate or resolve release blockers.

Quality Strategy & Automation

• Drive adoption of modern test automation tooling and frameworks — including AccelQ, Playwright, Karate, and agentic AI workflows — to reduce reliance on manual execution and scale regression coverage.

Team Leadership & Development
