• Assess impacts of delivery decisions on quality, risk, and release confidence.
• Recommend process improvements to strengthen quality outcomes.

Independent Quality Authority

• Act with professional objectivity and strong judgement.
• Challenge practices or decisions that create risk or reduce quality.
• Operate with an auditor mindset focused on evidence, standards, and outcomes.

Client & Account Support

• Highlight opportunities for CloudMarc to support client uplift initiatives.
• Perform activities that contribute to supporting CloudMarc where requested, outside the scope of client work.

• Contribute to client-facing test reporting and dashboards aligned to governance expectations.
• Use available tools and data to provide clear visibility of quality, risk, and delivery health.

Required Experience & Capability

• Extensive experience as a Test Manager in complex enterprise environments.

• Strong risk identification and mitigation capability.
• Excellent judgement and confidence to challenge constructively.
