About the Role
We need a QA Manager who still gets into the automation code, not someone who has moved entirely into planning and status updates. S/He will own UI and API test automation directly, run the QA process the same way on every release regardless of how tight the deadline is, and be the person in the room who says a build isn't ready when it isn't. Part of this job is being the customer's advocate inside the building, if a defect would embarrass us in front of a client, it doesn't ship.

Key Responsibilities
• Build, run, and maintain UI automation (Selenium, Playwright, or similar) and API automation (Postman, REST Assured, or similar) yourself. This is a hands-on role, not one where automation is only assigned to others.
• Run the QA lifecycle the same way every time: test planning, test case design, execution, defect triage, retesting, and sign-off. No skipped steps because a date is tight.
• Wire automated suites into our CI/CD pipeline so they run on every build, not just before a release goes out.
• Act as the customer's advocate internally,



pushing back on release readiness when the testing doesn't support it, even when that's the unpopular answer.
• Track defects to root cause and follow them through to an actual fix, not just a closed ticket.
• Plan and run your own day-to-day test activity without needing someone else to hand you a task list.
• Write test reports and give status updates that say plainly what's broken and what isn't, rather than burying a red flag in a slide.
• Work inside our Agile sprints as a full participant, not as a downstream gate that testing waits on.
• Use what you know about insurance and reinsurance, policy layers, limits, deductibles, and how underwriting actually works, to design test cases that reflect how a broker or underwriter would really use the product.
• Get hands-on with AI/GenAI testing tools, AI-assisted test generation, self-healing scripts, automation copilots, to keep QA moving at the same pace as the A
