* Work with managers, leads, and senior technical contributors to find innovative ways to test more effectively. Establish and enforce standards which ensure sufficient quality as delivered by Product Development in your area.
* Mentor managers and leads and assist their career growth, helping them to realize their full potential.
* Ensure test strategies focus on areas of greatest risk, and identify defects as early as possible in the development lifecycle.

Your background will include successful collaboration in cross-functional teams to deliver products of excellent quality which achieve the business goals.
