  • Review and (where vital) align and train external test teams to conform to expected bug reporting standards, while maintaining a tidy and prioritised database of bugs in coordination with your respective pods work
  • Support with the onboarding of external embedded pod test resource(s) within your pod
  • Build and solidify a working relationship with your respective external embedded QA support, always remaining in sync on priorities and needs, also ensuring sufficient coverage through them in your absence
  • Keep your pod and the leadership team advised on milestone progression, priorities and blockers throughout the development lifecycle
  • Attend associated pod and QA team ceremonies, using these as a platform for feedback, while remaining current and informed on team strategy and movements
  • Work closely with Customer Support & the Live & Release team to investigate, document and (where vital) push for swift resolution of live issues, owning and understanding where potential gaps existed, and plugging these for future circumstances
  • Be aware of and supervise app health from a comprehensive viewpoint, such as ANRs & Crash Rates, particularly following a release in which your pod has contributed in
  • Aligning with QA Leadership and the QA Director, standardise processes with other pods, providing feedback and suggestions to better these where applicable
  • Engage in annual reviews to aid with yours and others development alike, providing feedback when called upon, including to that of your lead / manager
  • Support QA Leadership in attaining the teams goals through ownership and tracking of KPOs / OKRs
