How you’ll make an impact:

You’ll…	So that…
Own and evolve the Quality Engineering strategy, standards, controls, quality gates and metrics.	Testing is consistent, auditable and aligned to customer, regulatory and delivery risk.
Lead portfolio-level planning across test demand, resources, environments, data and dependencies.	Concurrent initiatives have credible plans, clear priorities and the right capability at the right time.
Set the automation roadmap for Copado Robotic Testing, API, integration and data assurance.	Automation investment improves speed, reliability, coverage and release confidence.
Provide evidence-based recommendations through governance, release-readiness and risk forums.	Senior stakeholders can make clear, accountable decisions on quality and residual risk.
Partner across product, engineering, architecture, delivery, operations, risk and business teams.	Quality is embedded earlier and cross-team constraints are resolved transparently.
Line manage, coach and develop Test Leads and Test Engineers.	The practice builds an inclusive, accountable and sustainable pipeline of testing capability.

Why this role matters:

Technology & Change is a strategic priority for Vanquis. This role is central to release confidence and production quality, ensuring risks are identified, evidenced and managed before change reaches customers and colleagues.

You'll work closely with product, engineering, architecture, delivery, operations, risk, security, data and business teams, translating technical quality evidence into clear decisions and accountable residual-risk recommendations.

Our Quality Engineering approach:

We believe in	What that means
Risk-based quality	Coverage, evidence and controls are proportionate to customer impact, regulatory exposure and business criticality
Automation with purpose	Reusable automation targets valuable journeys and is integrated into CI/CD quality gates
Quality built in	Testing starts early, with traceability and ownership from requirements through to release
Evidence-led decisions	Quality data is translated into clear business impact, recommendations and residual risk
Continuous improvement	People, process, environments, data, observability and governance evolve through measurable outcomes

Technology and testing stack:

Core platforms	Quality engineering and automation
Salesforce: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Financial Services Cloud	Copado Robotic Testing and Copado pipelines
MuleSoft 4, Anypoint Platform and API Manager	Azure DevOps, CI/CD quality gates and work-item traceability
REST, SOAP, Platform Events and event-driven integrations	API, integration, end-to-end and automated regression testing
Enterprise data flows, JSON, XML, CSV and DataWeave	MUnit, SOQL, Salesforce CLI, logs and distributed tracing
CloudHub or Runtime Fabric environments	Test data, environment controls, evidence capture and quality metrics
