Line of Business within Priority Software building hospitality products serving properties worldwide. We’re transforming from manual to automation-first quality practices and need a quality leader to drive this evolution.

Responsibilities:

You’ll Own:

• Quality Guild Leadership - Define QA processes, methodologies, and standards across all squads; champion manual-to-automation transition
• Metrics & KPIs - Create quality measurements, track metrics (defect density, coverage, cycle time), drive data-driven decisions and goal-oriented management
• Test Planning & Delivery - Build test plans for all releases; monitor production/staging environment health; coordinate deployments (min. once per sprint)
• Collaboration - Work with Product Managers and Team Leads to break down work; participate in sprint planning; co-manage incidents
• Tools & AI - Implement test management tools; leverage AI to optimize workflows and documentation (mandatory)

Requirements:

• 10+ years QA experience in product companies (SaaS preferred)
• Proven track record scaling QA and leading quality transformations
• Expert in both manual and automation testing methodologies - Experience as tech lead/influencer in matrix organizations (no direct reports)
• Strong technical skills: JavaScript, Python, YAML, Linux/Windows
• Sprint/Agile experience with CI/CD pipelines - Hands-on creating documentation, test plans, frameworks, templates
• Experience with KPIs, metrics-based measurement, and goal-oriented management (OKRs)
• Mandatory: AI proficiency (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) for productivity and workflow optimization
• Experience with test management tools (TestRail, Zephyr, qTest, Xray)
• Hospitality tech experience (big advantage)
• SaaS background (advantage)

Who Thrives Here:

• Influencers who drive change through expertise, not hierarchy
• Data-driven leaders who make decisions based on metrics
• Hands-on strategists comfortable with docs and technical details
• AI-forward professionals who actively use AI in daily work
• Quality champions building culture, not just catching bugs
