The Role:

We are looking for a self-driven QA Automation Manager to set the vision, and strategy, and manage the delivery of outcomes for our test automation technologies to achieve business goals.
At Fetch, we are passionate about solving challenging problems and embracing ambiguity. Our engineering philosophy promotes adaptability and innovation over rigid adherence to rules.

• An effective communicator and collaborator including with engineering, product, Design/UX, analytics, operational departments, and external partners where necessary
• Able to thrive in uncertainty and comfortable with a high degree of ownership and bias for action; you’re a driver rather than a passenger

• Collaborating with QA and software engineering leaders to define, execute, and launch innovative test automation enhancements
• Consistently demonstrating clear improvements to our test automation metrics
• Driving initiatives to elevate the abilities of our QA team, and the overall company
• Attracting and retaining top talent to grow your team
• Getting into the details to ensure we build a world-class product that our consumers and partners love and cannot live without
• No excuses; take ownership and responsibility for outcomes, and be ready to take action to remediate issues and solve tough problems in a fast-paced environment
