Software Quality Assurance Lead

Company: Nixor
Apply for the Software Quality Assurance Lead
Location: London
Job Description:

Ready to lead a QA transformation rather than simply manage testing?

We’re partnering with a leading global publisher looking for a hands‑on QA Lead to take ownership of the next stage of their quality engineering journey.

The business already has an established QA function, with manual testing embedded across multiple digital platforms used by customers around the world. Now they’re looking for someone to lead the transition to a modern, automation‑first approach.

Playwright is central to that journey.

This isn’t about starting from scratch, it’s about building on strong foundations. You’ll define the automation strategy, implement Playwright across the business, improve test coverage, and help shape how quality is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle.

You’ll also play an important role in exploring how QA evolves as the business adopts more AI‑driven tools and workflows, helping define best practices for testing emerging technologies.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Taking ownership of QA across multiple product teams.
  • Leading the move from manual testing to automated testing using Playwright.
  • Defining and implementing the automation strategy.
  • Building scalable automation frameworks and improving regression coverage.
  • Supporting and mentoring an existing QA Engineer.
  • Partnering with Engineering and Product teams to embed quality from the start of development.
  • Helping shape how AI‑powered systems and workflows are tested.

What we’re looking for:

  • Experience as a QA Lead, Lead QA Engineer or Senior QA Automation Engineer.
  • Strong hands‑on experience with Playwright.
  • Experience leading or driving a transition from manual testing to automation.
  • Previous experience mentoring or managing a small QA team.
  • Someone who enjoys improving processes, influencing change, and remaining technically hands‑on.
  • An interest in AI and the future of software testing.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact, own the automation roadmap, and help shape the future of QA within a leading global publisher, we’d love to hear from you.
