Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with development partners and engineering leads to enforce robust code review standards, with a focus on performance, maintainability, and security.
• Lead the end-to-end quality assurance lifecycle by defining and governing a scalable QA strategy aligned to industry best practices.
• Design and evolve QA frameworks that embed effective development controls, deployment governance, and quality checkpoints across multiple products and platforms.
• Drive early testing engagement (“shift-left”) to generate reliable test signals and scale testing efforts efficiently.
• Work closely with product, architecture, and engineering teams to plan, develop, and execute quality strategies across complex enterprise solutions.
• Identify and implement performance optimisations, particularly in relation to custom-built components.
• Ensure delivery partner agreements appropriately reflect quality responsibilities and that QA scope is consistently embedded within a unified framework.
• Partner with regional technical teams to maintain consistent quality standards while supporting localisation and regional requirements.
• Act as the primary quality contact for release activities, providing assurance and visibility to stakeholders.
• Support post-deployment root cause analysis to identify systemic improvements and strengthen quality practices.
• Engage proactively with technology vendors to enhance quality frameworks and explore emerging capabilities, including AI-enabled tooling.
• Define, own, and evolve quality metrics, implementing preventative monitoring and measurements to assess testing effectiveness, efficiency, and overall solution health.
• Analyse test outcomes and clearly communicate insights to stakeholders, driving continuous improvement.
• Continuously refine testing processes, tools, and methodologies in collaboration with testing leads and delivery partners.

What You Will Bring:

• Strong hands-on background within the D365 technical ecosystem, including prior experience in a global delivery environment.
• Development expertise using relevant D365 technologies and languages (e.g. X++, associated frameworks, and .NET).
• Practical experience with modern DevOps and version control tooling such as GitHub and Azure DevOps.
• Exposure to large-scale D365 implementations, including ISV solutions, enterprise architecture considerations, and global rollouts.
• Proven experience in software quality assurance with a strong emphasis on automated testing (e.g. Tosca or equivalent tools).
• Awareness of relevant industry and regulatory standards to ensure compliance (e.g. data protection and security requirements).
• Solid understanding of software development lifecycles and Agile delivery methodologies.

Skills & Attributes

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics for non-technical audiences.
• Strong analytical mindset, capable of conducting holistic quality reviews and influencing engineering practices.
• Confident presenter with the ability to engage senior stakeholders and work effectively with global, cross-functional teams.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and self-motivated, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
