Job Description

This director changes how QAD builds and proves quality in Adaptive ERP. The goal is continuous, automated evidence that every release, patch, and update works in environments that look like customers' own, not a QA stage at the end. This leader owns quality standards, regression automation, and release gates, and has the authority to stop a release that does not meet them. We are not looking for a QA manager. We need a leader who will reshape how the organization thinks about quality.

Responsibilities

- Build and lead the central Quality Engineering organization: strategy, staffing, capability, and results.

- Define quality standards and evidence-based release gates covering installation, configuration, upgrades, patches, integrations, and end-to-end business flows.





- Hold the authority to block a release that fails those gates.

- Lead regression automation: one framework, a suite covering the defined test surface, and a measurable coverage ramp, integrated into development and deployment pipelines.

- Qualify releases in customer-representative environments and configurations.

- Apply AI across the quality lifecycle, including test generation, maintenance, and defect analysis.

- Make quality visible with data: coverage, escaped defects, regression results, and release readiness.

- Own the quality assessment against agreed release gates and escalate unmet criteria through the release decision process.
