Quality Assurance Expert

We are seeking a Quality Assurance Expert to fill the role of Senior E2E QA Lead / Cross-functional Quality Manager who has experience leading major projects to drive the strategy quality and execution of tests within a major transformation program involving the integration of Guidewire ClaimCenter with the internal ecosystem.

• As the project is being carried out in collaboration with an IT integrator the vendor and our business unit and given that the majority of these individuals are English-speaking the working language of the project is primarily English and requires a high level of proficiency in understanding speaking reading and written communication. Ultimately the candidate must be fully functional in both English and French as some aspects of the project remain exclusively in French.
  
• Client is seeking a senior E2E QA Lead to lead the cross-functional quality strategy for a major transformation program focused on integrating Guidewire ClaimCenter with the internal ecosystem. The role requires expertise in both QA governance (strategy test plans KPIs reports) and field execution (UAT BI defects traceability artifacts). The candidate must have direct knowledge of property and casualty insurance claims processes; industry-specific abstractions are insufficient in this context.
  
• The ideal candidate will possess cross-functional leadership skills rather than technical expertise in the automotive sector. Matization: Multi-team coordination (integrator PO business CISO) and an end-to-end vision are at the heart of the expected value. English is the primary working language of the project; the candidate must be fully functional in both languages.
