Your Career
This is a senior leadership opportunity to define and deliver the quality engineering vision for one of MHR&rsquo;s most critical platforms. You&rsquo;ll own the end-to-end testing strategy across People First, embedding automation-first and AI-enabled practices throughout the SDLC. Working closely with Engineering, Product, and Architecture, you&rsquo;ll ensure quality is built in, not tested in, while shaping the use of tooling, CI/CD, observability, and metrics to drive continuous improvement and delivery predictability. You&rsquo;ll have the autonomy and influence to establish a best-in-class quality engineering function within a modern SaaS environment. 
Your Team
You&rsquo;ll lead and develop a high-performing Quality Engineering function, working in close partnership with Engineering Managers, Team Leads, and Product stakeholders. You&rsquo;ll coach and inspire Automation Engineers and QA specialists, fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement, while ensuring teams are equipped with the right tools and capabilities. You&rsquo;ll also drive adoption of AI-assisted testing approaches and provide oversight of third-party partners, acting as a strong advocate for quality across the organisation. 
Your Impact
You&rsquo;ll be accountable for ensuring all software released within People First meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance. You&rsquo;ll deliver an automation-led testing strategy, embed continuous testing within CI/CD, and leverage AI to improve coverage, efficiency, and early risk detection. Alongside this, you&rsquo;ll establish clear quality metrics and governance, ensure robust non-functional testing, and drive predictable, high-quality delivery in partnership with Engineering and Product. Ultimately, you&rsquo;ll ensure People First remains scalable, resilient, and trusted by customers, while enabling teams to move faster with confidence.

</li></ul>
