Senior Quality Assurance Manager

At Hudl, we build great teams. We hire the best of the best to ensure you’re working with people you can constantly learn from. You’re trusted to get your work done your way while testing the limits of what’s possible and what’s next. We work hard to provide a culture where everyone feels supported, and our employees feel it—their votes helped us become one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces. We think of ourselves as the team behind the team, supporting the lifelong impact sports can have: the lessons in teamwork and dedication; the influence of inspiring coaches; and the opportunities to reach new heights. That’s why we help teams from all over the world see their game differently. Our products make it easier for coaches and athletes at any level to capture video, analyze data, share highlights and more.

Your Role

We’re looking for a Sr. Quality Assurance Manager to support our squads who are working on products for our North American sports market. You’ll lead Engineers across several Agile squads as they deliver key products like Instat, Volleymetrics, and Hudl Sportscode, which are used by elite basketball, ice hockey, and American football teams. This role will focus on:

• Improving quality. You’ll work to measurably improve quality and our ability to deliver quality at speed. You’ll empower teams to take on challenges and make their own decisions, constantly researching best practices in use elsewhere and striving to use what you learn to improve quality and velocity.
• Coaching. You'll use your technical and quality understanding to guide others on the team to level up their skills. As the go-to person for product quality, you’ll influence and challenge teams to incorporate quality best practices in everything they do.

For this role, we’re currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office in London, but with our flexible work policy, there aren’t any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must-Haves

• A focus on quality. You understand quality in the big picture and strive to use what you know to improve quality and velocity.
• Technical know-how. You have in-depth experience with testing desktop and web applications, and deep knowledge of automation and its industry-recognised principles. You’ve implemented the test pyramid and have experience in working with Developers and QA to shift testing left.
• Experience leading others. You have a track record of mentoring, connecting with, and improving those around you.
• A customer focus. You think critically about the user experience and ensure our testing approach adapts to their workflows.

Nice-to-Haves

• Working with a global team. Our product team is currently spread across the U.S. and Europe, and remote collaboration skills will be part of the job.
• A working knowledge of U.S. sports. A general understanding of sports like basketball and American football would be a plus.

Our Role

• Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We’ve invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Support your wellbeing. Depending on location, we offer medical and retirement benefits for employees—but no matter where you’re located, we have resources like our Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support your mental health.

Compensation

Inclusion at Hudl

Hudl is an equal opportunity employer. Through our actions, behaviours and attitude, we’ll create an environment where everyone, no matter their differences, feels like they belong. We offer resources to ensure our employees feel safe bringing their authentic selves to work, including employee resource groups and communities. But we recognise there’s ongoing work to be done, which is why we track our efforts and commitments in annual inclusion reports. We also know imposter syndrome is real and the confidence gap can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply—we’d love to hear from you.
