As the Head of QA Engineering, you'll take ownership of HBF's quality strategy bringing every stage of the delivery lifecycle to life. From test automation to non-functional testing (performance, accessibility, security coordination), you will look to reduce risk and accelerate safe, high-quality releases.
You will be the architect of quality across the enterprise, scaling automation and creating the frameworks that make frequent, reliable, and secure releases possible. You'll lead a passionate QA team that's building the foundations for safer, smarter digital experiences that make a real difference in our members lives.
What you'll do
Shape the enterprise quality vision: Define frameworks, policies, and quality gates that raise the bar across engineering.
Automate at scale: Implement a true test automation pyramid, shift-left practices, and seamless CI/CD integration.
Champion non-functional quality: Own performance, resilience, accessibility, and operational readiness testing.
Enable delivery: Govern test environments, data readiness, and SLAs that empower product teams to move fast safely.
Measure what matters: Establish quality dashboards and insights that drive continuous improvement.
About you
You are a strategic leader who knows how to inspire teams, influence direction, and embed quality thinking from the ground up, bringing a balance of technical expertise, operational discipline and proven leadership.
Sharing your experience in QA engineering, automation, and test management across complex enterprise environments you constantly look for ways to innovate and foster a culture of collaboration, accountability, and growth.
You'll also bring:
- A strong grasp of DevOps, CI/CD, and modern software delivery practices
- The ability to lead through influence, partnering with Product, Architecture, and Cyber to align strategy and execution
- Several years' experience QA leadership roles, ideally within large-scale or regulated organisations
