Sr. Director, Testing & Quality Engineering at Evinova (AstraZeneca)
We are looking for a hands‑on testing leader who can consolidate a distributed testing function that has not succeeded, build it into a coherent high‑performing organization, and run it all at the same time.
About the Role
This role requires blending strategic leadership with deep technical expertise to establish a unified testing function across the product portfolio, embedding quality and AI capabilities throughout the delivery cycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and lead the testing function: Consolidate testing teams across squads and products into a unified function and establish a leadership layer.
- Define what “Done” means: Own the standards that define GA‑readiness across the product portfolio and hold the line across all products.
- Drive test automation: Own the shift from manual to automated functional testing, set the automation roadmap, make framework and tooling decisions, and drive progress in coverage and quality.
- Maintain traceability and audit readiness:



Maintain requirements‑to‑test traceability infrastructure required under GxP frameworks.
- Build the AI evaluation practice: Define how AI capabilities embedded in products are tested at release and monitored in production, building evaluation frameworks, model regression testing, and output validation.
- Embed AI into the testing workflow: Use AI tooling to accelerate test generation, coverage analysis, and QA workflows.
- Define and own quality metrics: Establish a metrics framework to measure automation coverage, defect trends, release quality, and AI evaluation outcomes.
- Partner across functions: Collaborate with squads, product, quality, and delivery teams to embed quality earlier in the cycle, reduce rework, and improve release confidence.

Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years in quality engineering, software engineering, or product engineering, with at least 3 years leading a quality or testing function at senior level.
