What you will do:
We are opening a Lead QA position within our Quality department. We are looking for a leader with strong interpersonal skills, capable of rethinking processes and supporting the team on a daily basis.
Under the supervision of Liviu‑Ioan, the Quality Project Manager, you will work closely with the technical lead.
Your missions:
You will be responsible for:
• Leading and organizing QA team activities: clear objectives, prioritization, planning, resource allocation.
• (Re)designing, implementing, and maintaining QA processes (test strategy, acceptance criteria, traceability, reporting).
• Collaborating closely with Development teams, the other QA lead, and the QA team to continuously improve pipelines.
• Delivering regular reports on project quality status and risks; proactively raising alerts and proposing action plans.
• Setting up targeted actions to identify, prioritize, and clarify blocking/disruptive bugs and ensure their resolution.
• Building a positive team culture: motivation, recognition, team spirit, rituals, transparency.
• Supporting individual growth: continuous feedback, performance reviews, training needs, and skills development.
Important: This role prioritizes management and process ownership. A ''basic'' QA background is acceptable if you have strong leadership and excellent organizational skills.
Your future work environment:
You will join a team of around 10 to 12 people.
You will become the managerial reference for the QA group at the heart of the project, paired with a technical co‑lead supporting you on tooling and test‑related topics.
You will collaborate daily with Liviu-Ioan (your manager) and with development and production teams in a multi‑studio environment.
Qualifications
• Proven experience managing a team (ideally of a similar size).
• Hands‑on knowledge of QA tools and methods (bug tracking, databases, test plans, strategies, prioritization).
• Comfortable with tracking tools (e.g., Jira) and testing methodologies; able to design/optimize test cases and reports.
• Fluent English (multi‑studio context).
• Technical interest: understanding of environments, platforms, and QA tools; advanced technical topics are handled by the co‑lead.
Nice to have:
• Knowledge of consoles and build pipelines.
• Basic networking / online services understanding.
• Exposure to game engines and/or scripting.

Soft Skills (what we expect from you)
• Leadership: team spirit, ability to unite and maintain a positive team dynamic.
• Clear and pedagogical communication: giving meaning, explaining the ''why,'' aligning teams.
• Initiative & autonomy: strong onboarding over the first 6 months, then high level of autonomy expected.
• Rigor: tracking priorities, Jira, rituals, indicators.
But above all, you bring positive energy every day!
