Ready to Lead Quality Engineering at Specsavers?
At Specsavers, we're here to change lives through better sight and hearing. We do that by delivering outstanding value, being loved by every customer, and creating a workplace where colleagues are proud to belong. As our business continues to grow, we're investing in the people and capabilities that help us deliver technology that truly makes a difference.
Our Quality Engineering team is central to that mission. We empower our technology function by enhancing capabilities and fostering continuous learning. We embed quality into everything we do—maximising business impact and delivering greater value across the organisation.
We're now looking for a Quality Engineering Delivery Manager to lead quality outcomes across a defined value stream, portfolio, or programme. In this role, you'll be responsible for all the qualitative attributes of software delivery, as well as managing the QE professionals who support it. You'll shape and enable the most effective QA delivery strategy, ensuring it's delivered within time and cost constraints. You'll forecast and manage resources, drive work-package planning and execution, and deliver outcomes in line with governance requirements.
You'll lead a team of Quality Managers, Leads, and Engineers—providing consultancy, support, and fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. You'll also take ownership of line management, performance development, and deputise for the Principal Engineer when needed.
This is a role where you'll be at the heart of quality decision-making. You'll communicate risks and mitigations clearly to stakeholders, identify opportunities for efficiency, and embed quality earlier in the change lifecycle. You'll enhance QA processes, tools, and behaviours, and act as a key point of escalation and education for internal and external teams.
You'll bring a strong ability to translate technical risks into business language, helping stakeholders make informed decisions. You'll be a natural ambassador for quality, supporting teams in scoping and risk management, and promoting a collaborative, inclusive environment. You'll coach and mentor others, challenge the status quo, and drive continuous improvement across the QA function.
If you've led teams, worked across complex delivery environments, and have a passion for embedding quality into every stage of the software lifecycle, this is your chance to make a real difference. Experience with QA tooling, release and environment management, and software testing certifications will be a bonus. And if you're someone who naturally promotes Specsavers' behaviours in everything you do, you'll fit right in.
If you're excited by the opportunity to lead quality engineering in a values-driven, purpose-led organisation, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help us bring better sight and hearing to millions—through technology that works.
