This includes leading internal and vendor teams, managing capacity and resources, and driving continuous improvement through data-driven insights and innovation.

With a passion for continuous improvement and innovation, you will promote shift-left quality practices and data-driven decision-making.

*Join us and play a pivotal role in ensuring our digital platforms are resilient, scalable, and ready to support the future of intelligent, connected aviation.*

Degree qualified, you will demonstrate a minimum of 8 years of experience in software testing and quality engineering, with proven leadership experience managing complex, multi-stream testing programs.

You’ll have deep hands-on expertise across system integration testing, non-functional testing (including performance, security, and resilience), and performance and load testing tools.

Naturally, you will bring a strong understanding of modern testing strategies, test automation frameworks, CI/CD integration, and contemporary architectures such as microservices and APIs.

Comfortable operating in fast-paced, agile environments, you’re confident translating quality risks and insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
