Software Test Team Leader

Location: Hybrid

Employment Type: Full-time

Salary: Up to 40k - 45k (dependent on experience)

We are seeking a hands-on Software Tester Team Leader to guide and grow our testing capability while remaining close to the detail of manual and automated testing across our full product suite. You will lead an existing team of testers working across web applications, APIs, and data-heavy systems, ensuring quality is embedded early in the development lifecycle. Working closely with developers, you will help shape test strategy, direct our automation journey, and raise quality standards across the team.

In this role, you will balance leadership and delivery. You'll be mentoring testers, setting clear expectations, and driving consistency in testing practices, while also contributing directly to testing activities where needed. You will work with tools and technologies including API testing frameworks, test automation, and modern web platforms, helping the team build confidence in the systems we deliver. Your focus will be on ensuring quality is not just validated at the end, but built in from the start, enabling fast, safe, and reliable delivery across all products.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership

Mentor and develop testers through regular appraisal meetings, coaching, and clear development plans, building a skilled and confident test team.
Drive accountability, ownership, and strong engineering practices across the team, fostering a culture where quality is embedded from the outset of development.
Act as the key escalation point for testing and delivery risks, proactively removing blockers and ensuring issues are resolved in a timely and structured way.
Take ownership of overall product quality, ensuring testing approaches are aligned to delivering reliable, scalable, and high-performing applications.
Work closely with developers, product and project management teams to ensure testing is integrated early in the lifecycle, improving speed, reliability, and confidence in releases.

Test Strategy & Quality Assurance

Define and evolve the overall test strategy across manual and automated testing
Ensure consistent quality standards across all products and teams, including features that incorporate AI-driven functionality.
Apply risk-based testing approaches to balance quality assurance with delivery speed.
Evolve the test strategy based on delivery insights, feedback, and defect trends.

Technical Delivery & Test Automation

Champion the effective use of automation within the team, supporting and encouraging its adoption where it adds value.
Work with developers and testers to develop and maintain automation frameworks and API testing approaches across C# and web applications.
Help improve test coverage across web applications, APIs, and data-driven systems through a balanced mix of manual and automated testing.
Support integration of automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, working closely with engineering teams.
Remain hands-on where required, particularly in exploratory testing, complex scenarios, and technical
investigations.
Identify recurring defects and trends, collaborating with developers to address root causes and improve overall product quality

Agile Delivery & Collaboration

Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and delivery teams
Ensure testing is planned, estimated, and delivered effectively within sprint cycles
Contribute to sprint planning
Provide clear visibility of quality status, risks, and release readiness to stakeholders.
Identify and communicate testability challenges, risk, and complexity early in the life cycle to help the team make informed delivery decisions
Align testing activities with release timelines, supporting production deployments and performing post-release validation to ensure systems are operating as expected

Continuous Improvement

Drive continuous improvement in testing processes, tools, and automation.
Champion the use of AI and modern tooling to improve testing efficiency, coverage, and engineering processes.
Explore and adopt AI-assisted approaches to enhance test design, defect analysis, and overall quality engineering practices.
Promote shared ownership of quality across the delivery teams, strengthening collaboration between development and testing.
Continuously develop the team's technical and testing capability, particularly in automation, API testing, and modern QA practices.

Requirements

Essential

Proven ability to lead, mentor, or support other testers or junior team members
5+ years' experience in software testing within a web-based application environment
Strong understanding of QA principles across manual and automated testing approaches
Experience working in an Agile development team
Strong hands-on experience in manual and exploratory testing

Ability to work closely with developers and product teams throughout the software life cycle
Strong communication skills with the ability to report risks, issues, and quality status clearly
Comfortable being hands-on in a fast-paced delivery environment

Desirable

Experience with test automation frameworks (ideally C# or similar backend tools)
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and automated test integration
Experience working with large datasets
Experience in performance or load testing concepts
Knowledge of API testing tools (e.g. Postman or similar)
