About the Role

In today’s enterprise environment, quality is no longer a downstream function; it is a strategic capability that protects brand trust, enables speed, and underpins customer confidence at a global scale. We are seeking a Vice President of Quality Assurance to redefine how quality is embedded across product development, platform delivery, and enterprise operations.

This role is built for an executive who has led quality at scale across complex, multi-product ecosystems, where reliability, security, performance, and regulatory readiness are non-negotiable. As VP of Quality Assurance, you will be responsible for setting the enterprise QA vision, evolving quality from traditional testing into an integrated, automation-first, AI-enabled discipline that accelerates innovation while safeguarding stability.

You will oversee global QA strategy across software, platforms, data systems, and integrations, partnering closely with Engineering, Product, Security, Compliance, and Operations. Your mandate is to ensure that quality is engineered into every stage of the lifecycle from design and development to deployment and continuous delivery, while enabling teams to move faster with confidence.

This is a highly visible leadership role with direct influence on customer experience, platform resilience, regulatory posture, and long-term enterprise value.

  • Deep expertise in test automation, CI/CD pipelines, DevOps, and modern quality engineering practices.

  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms, microservices, APIs, data systems, and enterprise architectures.

  • Experience operating in highly regulated or mission-critical environments preferred.

  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior engineering, product, and executive leaders.

  • Strong financial and operational acumen, including budget ownership and ROI-driven transformation initiatives.

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Executive-level presence with the ability to challenge constructively and lead through influence.
