Mailshake is seeking a highly organized and motivated QA Manager to help us ensure a high-level of quality for our simple yet powerful sales engagement software for sales professionals. You’ll work closely with members of the Product and Engineering teams to understand feature requirements and establish appropriate test cases for us to continue providing our customers with a great user experience.
About the Position
As our QA Manager, you’ll have the following primary accountabilities:
- Testing strategy and planning
- Testing tools and automation
- Test cases and tests repository
- Go/No-Go release decisions
The QA Manager oversees all QA-related tasks and activities for our sales engagement software, including managing a team of QA testers and automation engineers. As a key staff member you’ll identify gaps in feature acceptance criteria, provide feedback on the product, and help implement process changes for continuous improvement.
You’ll work closely with your team to write and review test cases for features, provide estimates for testing time, triage and manage the bug list, and help perform manual and automated testing when needed. You’ll also participate in product design reviews, feature kickoff meetings, and playtest sessions, all of which will contribute to your team’s testing plans.
This is a remote-only position and thus requires the ability to communicate effectively without being in-person. You should be able to work with minimal supervision and rely on your team to do the same, but also stay in touch with them to monitor progress and make adjustments to workloads when necessary.
