• Perform regression testing to ensure new or updated WalkMe content does not negatively impact existing in-application guidance.
• Identify, document, and clearly communicate defects, usability issues, and performance concerns to WalkMe developers and relevant stakeholders.
• Verify selector stability, conditional logic, triggers, and visibility rules across supported browsers and various system states.
• Confirm that WalkMe content aligns with standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and established quality expectations.
• Support go/no-go release decisions by providing clear QA feedback and recommendations prior to production deployments.
• Maintain clear, detailed, and auditable QA documentation, including test cases, test results, and defect tracking records.
• Participate in walkthroughs, defect triage discussions, and release planning sessions as needed to support timely and high-quality releases.
• Execute testing steps accurately after a single walkthrough or by following written test cases and defined workflows.
• Navigate and test within web-based applications to validate user journeys, guidance flows, and overall user experience.
• Capture defects with sufficient detail, including steps to reproduce, expected versus actual results, and relevant screenshots or logs, to enable efficient resolution.

Essential Skills

• Experience performing QA or user acceptance testing (UAT) for software, digital tools, or enterprise systems.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow structured test scenarios and predefined workflows.
• Familiarity with regulated or compliance-driven environments such as GxP, Quality Systems, or validated systems.
• Ability to clearly document issues, reproduction steps, and expected versus actual results in a structured and auditable manner.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working within a cross-functional, matrixed team environment.
• Basic UX/UI familiarity or foundational analytical skills to understand user flows and interface behavior.

• Documentation and issue-tracking skills, including the ability to clearly describe defects so developers can take effective action.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with JIRA or similar ticket-based tools for defect tracking and Agile workflows.
• Prior experience testing WalkMe content or other in-application guidance or digital adoption tools.
• Exposure to Quality Systems such as quality management systems (QMS), document management, training systems, or change control platforms.
• Basic understanding of UI/UX concepts and end-user workflows.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience preferred.
