Are you a quality champion with a knack for leadership? Do you get a kick out of making sure everything runs smoothly and delivers a top-notch experience? Then you might just be our next Test Lead!

At tombola, we're all about creating awesome, high-quality games that our players love. As our Test Lead, you'll be at the heart of it all, working closely with our game engine and development teams to make sure every release is spot on. You'll be the go-to person for all things quality, driving continuous improvement, and keeping things running like a well-oiled machine.

* Teamwork makes the dream work: You'll be the ultimate collaborator, working hand-in-hand with developers, product managers, and senior management to ensure seamless delivery.
* Planning like a pro: You'll develop and maintain comprehensive test strategies and plans to guarantee tip-top product delivery.
* Keeping things ticking: You'll coordinate and test all our exciting promotional activities and be in charge of scheduling and organising game releases.
* Reporting like a rockstar: You'll keep an eye on test metrics and provide regular quality reports to our stakeholders, helping us make the best decisions.
* Optimising everything: You'll help select and implement the best testing tools and frameworks to make our testing super-efficient.
* Risk management marvel: You'll proactively manage quality and project risks, sorting out any bumps in the road before they become a problem.
* Communication champion: You'll be the main point of contact for anything quality-related and handle any escalations like a pro.
* Always improving: You'll lead retrospectives and drive process enhancements to keep our QA practices top-notch.


What you'll bring:

* An in-depth understanding of software development life cycles (SDLC) and methodologies, especially Agile frameworks.
* Strong skills in stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Proficient JavaScript skills to support technical testing.
* The ability to define detailed test specifications from project requirements and user stories.
* Strong root cause analysis and problem-solving capabilities.
* Excellent organisational and time management skills, with a proven ability to juggle multiple priorities.
* Demonstrated people development skills, including coaching, mentoring, and performance management.
* Proven project leadership and team coordination experience.
* Brilliant conflict resolution skills and the ability to have effective, constructive conversations.
* Hands-on experience with Agile methodologies and tools like JIRA and TestRail.
