Lead quality engineering design and build for quality engineering solutions across teams within a release train. Carry out effective technical design reviews to ensure that the right architecture patterns are used to support modern quality engineering practices. Plan and lead a risk-based approach for end-to-end testing across all stages of development within release trains, ensuring inclusion and alignment with the business. Create, evaluate and implement quality engineering standards and improvements. Ensure they are being consistently implemented within release trains. Collaborate with the leadership and team members to identify and eliminate non-value adding work, with the aim of driving efficiency and productivity across teams and release trains. Champion automation, lean software development, test driven development, agile practices, timely root cause analysis and blameless incident post-mortems to drive continuous improvements. Develop/Identify framework, tools and practices to improve delivery quality of technology solutions and productivity of quality engineers. Foster a climate of continuous improvement amongst the team members based on scaled agile software development principles. Act as a trusted advisor for the quality engineers and guide the team to work autonomously in a multi-disciplinary feature teams. Lead, coach and mentor quality engineers within a release train, providing leadership and continuous feedback whilst facilitating professional development across all areas of quality engineering. Ensure appropriate processes are in place to support reporting at portfolio and enterprise level to demonstrate OKR progress
