Responsibilities

10up is seeking an Associate Director of Quality Assurance to lead the growth and development of a Quality Assurance practice. Working alongside project management, design,  and engineering leadership, you’ll be responsible for defining -- and deploying -- a quality assurance strategy that makes sure websites and applications are launched successfully up to 10up standards, according to plan, without major quality control issues. You’ll guide the definition of formal Quality Assurance policy and process, and help us implement the tools that make it a success. Additionally, you’ll be helping lay down the groundwork for a developing QA practice. 

Especially early in the role, you will be expected to spend at least ~50% of your time actively supporting QA efforts on 10up projects, either as the QA Specialist or ensuring application of the process. This is intended both to validate and mature the strategy with real world experience, and to recognize that most 10up leaders actively engage in key projects that can most benefit from their expertise.
