Automation Test Lead

Primary Responsibilities

Test Planning & Strategy

• Develop and document test strategy and plans aligned with project goals, defining objectives, scope, deliverables, and success criteria.
• Identify required testing types and plan resources, schedules, and tooling to support testing activities.
• Champion shift-left testing principles — engage early in the product development lifecycle to deeply understand how products are architected and built, not just what the requirements say. Use that understanding to surface testability gaps, design risks, and integration complexities before they reach execution.

Test Execution Management

• Oversee preparation and execution of test cases, ensuring thorough requirements coverage.
• Monitor testing progress, enforce adherence to plan, and manage defect tracking, reporting, and resolution.
• Step in as a hands-on contributor when the situation requires it — particularly during deployments scheduled in US afternoon or evening windows where you may be the only QE resource available. This includes executing smoke and regression test suites, making real-time go/no-go assessments, and clearly communicating any critical blockers to development and release teams.
• Define and track key performance indicators — defect density, test coverage, execution rates — and present quality trend reports to stakeholders.

Test Automation Leadership

• Lead the design, development, and maintenance of test automation frameworks.
• Balance manual and automated testing based on project context and risk profile.
• Drive continuous testing integration within CI/CD pipelines.

Stakeholder Communication, Collaboration & Test Coordination

• Serve as the primary point of contact for all testing-related queries from project stakeholders.
• Provide regular updates on test progress, metrics, and results to project managers and product owners.
• Coordinate cross-team System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) — these are among the most complex and high-stakes activities in the delivery cycle. You will align schedules, entry and exit criteria, test environments, and stakeholder readiness across multiple teams to drive these phases to successful completion.
• Plan and manage working model overlaps for a distributed team — deliberately schedule collaboration windows, stand-ups, and critical reviews that provide meaningful coverage across time zones, ensuring no segment of the team operates in isolation or becomes a delivery bottleneck.
• Escalate critical issues and risks to appropriate stakeholders promptly and clearly.

Risk & Issue Management

• Identify testing-phase risks early and develop mitigation strategies.
• Track and resolve critical issues before release, proactively clearing bottlenecks and dependency conflicts.
