• Build a first‑of‑type automated test pack for critical HL7, FHIR, API, and messaging flows.
• Work closely with internal engineering teams and third‑party development partners to embed quality throughout the SDLC.
• Establish clear processes for test management, reporting, environment parity, and release confidence.
• Mentor and upskill testers, analysts, and developers to leave lasting internal capability.
• Act as a senior stakeholder interface, translating risk and quality into clear business outcomes.

Essential Experience Required

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager, Test Manager, or Senior Lead in complex or regulated environments.
• Strong background in test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and tool selection (Azure DevOps preferred).
• Hands‑on experience with integration testing (APIs, messaging, HL7, FHIR).
• Confident working across in‑house teams and third‑party vendors, driving shared ownership and standards.
• Excellent communicator who can bridge technical detail and senior stakeholders.
