What Will Keep You Busy
Lead & Innovate
- Define and deliver a test strategy that aligns with program goals and accelerates delivery outcomes.
- Bring modern QA thinking — including shift‑left principles, early risk identification, quality engineering mindset, and support for emerging automation.
- Shape testing across platforms built in .NET and Power Platform / Dynamics 365, ensuring innovative, fit‑for‑purpose approaches.
- Guide the transition from a primarily manual testing environment to early-stage automation (Playwright exposure an advantage).
Drive Quality Execution
- Lead all test phases: functional, regression, integration, performance, UAT, and support for continuous testing within DevOps pipelines.
- Ensure high-quality delivery through strong test governance, clear traceability, structured documentation, and risk‑based prioritisation.
- Run effective defect triage, champion fast feedback loops, manage test scripts, and ensure timely issue resolution.
- Oversee testing activities across local and offshore teams (Vietnam), navigating time zone and cultural differences.
Empower People
- Mentor, coach, and uplift a team of testers — ensuring people care, growth, and strong delivery habits.
- Manage team workloads, priorities, and performance to ensure consistent outcomes.
- Foster a culture where quality is shared, not siloed — embedding QA mindset across delivery teams.
Collaborate & Influence
- Work closely with project managers, architects, developers, and product owners to embed quality into every stage of the lifecycle.
- Communicate progress, risks, coverage, and insights clearly to stakeholders.
- Operate effectively within a hybrid working model, including 2 onsite days across DXC or client sites.

Recruitment fraud is a scheme in which fictitious job opportunities are offered to job seekers typically through online services, such as false websites, or through unsolicited emails claiming to be from the company. These emails may request recipients to provide personal information or to make payments as part of their illegitimate recruiting process. DXC does not make offers of employment via social media networks and DXC never asks for any money or payments from applicants at any point in the recruitment process, nor ask a job seeker to purchase IT or other equipment on our behalf.
