The Quality Strategy & Execution Lead is an individual contributor who translates strategic quality vision into practical execution across a complex, multi-stream transformation program. Acting as a bridge between Quality/Test leadership and delivery teams, this role ensures testing governance is embedded into daily practice and surfaces risks, dependencies, and blockers without slowing momentum.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Align quality goals and processes with Test Managers, Delivery Leads, and Project Managers.

  • Translate strategy into actionable guidance, track follow-through, and maintain a program-level view of quality maturity and Go/No-Go readiness.

  • Oversee testing standards by reviewing test plans, test cases, and execution results for completeness and accuracy.

  • Ensure end-to-end traceability from requirements to defects, maintaining audit-ready data in Zephyr and Jira.

  • Build dashboards and provide actionable insights on test coverage, defect trends, and execution progress.

  • Champion effective tool usage (Zephyr and Jira), coach teams, and partner with tool admins to refine workflows.

Required Skills & Tools:

  • Advanced expertise in Zephyr Scale and Jira (including JQL and dashboards)

  • Strong knowledge of testing lifecycle management and defect workflows

  • Experience across Agile, SAFe, or hybrid delivery models

  • Data analysis and reporting skills (Excel, Confluence, BI tools)

  • Excellent cross-functional communication and influence skills

Ideal Background:

  • 10+ years in enterprise test quality, test management, or strategic QA roles

  • Proven track record operationalizing quality strategy in matrixed, multi-vendor environments

  • Balanced strategic thinking with hands-on execution

  • Strong sense of ownership, accountability, and ability to drive resolution
