- Establish and track high-level KPIs to evaluate vendor execution, efficiency, and quality.
- Partner with stakeholders to design the right staffing and operating model for each phase of the project.
- Provide independent analysis of vendor performance, test coverage, and risk areas — not just status updates.

- Recommend and implement test strategy solutions across functional, regression, compatibility, and exploratory testing.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with production, development, and QA to ensure vendor teams are proactive, not reactive.

- 5+ years of QA project management experience, including direct oversight of external vendors.
- Proven track record shipping at least one large-scale AAA title.
- Deep understanding of test execution metrics, QA methodologies, and how to scale teams to meet quality goals.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — able to assess execution gaps and propose actionable solutions.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to work with diverse teams across time zones.
- PMP, Agile Scrum, or similar certifications are a plus.
- Experience managing QA across multiple regions (e.g., North America, Europe, Southeast Asia).
- Familiarity with Jira, TestRail, and other QA tools.
- Passion for games and a strong understanding of the player experience.
