Our client is a leading FinTech organisation developing an award-winning front-to-back investment and wealth management platform used by financial institutions across the UK and Europe. Following a period of sustained growth and continued investment in its technology estate, the business is looking to appoint an experienced QA Manager to lead its Quality Assurance function and play a pivotal role in delivering high‑quality software across a complex, business‑critical platform.
This is an outstanding opportunity for a people‑focused QA leader who combines strong technical knowledge with exceptional stakeholder management skills. You will be responsible for leading and developing a team of manual and automation engineers, defining the overall quality strategy, and ensuring robust testing practices are embedded throughout the software development lifecycle. Working closely with Engineering, Product and Programme Delivery teams, you will drive improvements in release quality, test coverage and automation while ensuring delivery remains aligned with business priorities and client expectations.
As QA Manager, you will own quality governance across multiple concurrent projects, establishing testing standards, release quality gates and defect management processes. You will lead root cause analysis for production issues, oversee quality reporting and KPIs, and proactively identify risks before they impact delivery. Working within an Agile environment, you will collaborate with Scrum teams, Product Owners and senior stakeholders while helping shape the organisation's automation strategy through technologies such as Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, alongside Azure DevOps, JIRA, Confluence and modern CI/CD pipelines. Experience promoting AI‑assisted testing and quality engineering practices will be highly advantageous as the business continues to modernise its software delivery capabilities.
Successful QA Manager candidates should have proven experience leading QA teams within a software, FinTech or financial services environment, with a strong understanding of both manual and automated testing methodologies. Experience delivering enterprise SaaS platforms, investment or wealth management solutions, and working with distributed engineering teams would be highly beneficial.
