Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a QA Engineering Manager who’s passionate about people, quality, and continuous improvement
- Proven leadership experience building and growing high-performing QA or engineering teams across multiple projects
- A deep understanding of functional and non-functional testing, with hands-on experience designing, writing and reviewing automated tests
- Confidence in guiding and coaching others, especially platform and product teams, without stepping in to do the work for them
- A collaborative mindset with experience partnering across Engineering, Product and Design to embed a quality-first culture
- Familiarity with test planning and scenario development as part of day-to-day delivery
- A working knowledge of performance, security, and observability testing in modern systems
- A background in product-led, fast-growing environments where quality and speed go hand in hand
- Perspective gained from working in more than one organisation, bringing fresh ideas and best practices
What the job involves
- You’ll create an inclusive, supportive environment where engineers and testers can thrive — championing automation, embedding best practices, and fostering a culture where quality is everyone’s responsibility
- Lead and inspire a high-performing QA team, fostering a safe, inclusive and supportive culture
- Embed quality thinking across our squad's, ensuring QA is a shared responsibility from ideation to release
- Champion test automation, performance, observability and secure-by-design thinking across our systems
- Evolve tools and frameworks that support fast, scalable and confident delivery
- Collaborate with Engineering, Product and Platform teams to deliver reliable, member-focused solutions
- Track and use quality metrics to drive continuous improvement and build a learning culture
- Contribute to strategic planning by balancing delivery goals with quality, cost, and compliance considerations
- Represent QA at a leadership level, aligning team goals with wider business and technology priorities
Our take
Many essential workers, like those in the NHS and emergency services, often face financial strain due to the demanding nature of their jobs. Their tireless efforts leave little time for personal pursuits, and their salaries might not always reflect the sacrifices they make.
To tackle this problem, Blue Light Card has established partnerships with nearly 15,000 retailers, offering a wide array of savings and benefits that are not typically accessible to the general public. Through its discount card, members gain access to discounts both online and in various high street establishments, including retailers, restaurants, and cinemas across the UK.
With millions of registered members and a growing network of partner retailers, Blue Light Card is well-positioned to enhance its offerings and continue advocating for the recognition and appreciation of the dedicated individuals who serve society's most critical needs.
