• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to present to senior stakeholders.
• Experience with test planning, execution coordination, defect management, and release readiness.
• Solid understanding of database, ETL, integration, and end-to-end testing practices.

Nice-to-Have

·                Experience in large enterprise programs involving multiple workstreams.

• Exposure to cloud technologies (Azure/AWS), data pipelines, or performance testing.
• Experience building dashboards or reporting for test metrics (Power BI, Excel, etc.).

What Success Looks Like

• Clear, accurate, and timely reporting for leaders and teams.
• Predictable test execution with reduced defects and fewer surprises during release.
• Strong partnership with technical and business groups.
