Techstra Solutions

QE Retail Lead

Dallas, TX - Contracted to Full Time

Role Purpose

Lead execution of Retail QE improvement initiatives by driving adoption, governance, accountability, metrics, and operational maturity across the QE organization using the assessment findings, recommendations, and governance structures already established.  

The ideal candidate is not being brought in to perform another major current-state assessment. The discovery, stakeholder interviews, executive analysis, governance recommendations, and initial RACI framework should largely be in place. Success will come from taking those established outputs and driving adoption, accountability, governance execution, metrics implementation, operational follow-through, and continuous refinement across the Retail QE organization.

The position requires a leader who can work effectively with directors, architects, and executive stakeholders while maintaining focus on organizational improvement and measurable outcomes. The strongest fit would be someone with proven QE governance, transformation, communication, facilitation, and operational leadership experience, supplemented by enough technical and data awareness to support metrics, reporting, testing, and operational decision-making when needed.

Candidate must be very experienced with asking questions, investigative questions and follow-up, provide direction to team members and leaders with thoughtful insight and analysis (current state and future state).  Be the "glue" or "bridge" between team members, technical staff, analytics/governance, and leadership.

Clear understanding of reporting, analytics/analysis, dashboards and supporting concepts.

  • Drive execution of QE/SDLC improvement initiatives.
  • Partner with QE Directors, Architects, and leadership teams to operationalize governance and accountability models.
  • Monitor adoption and effectiveness of established RACI structures and recommend refinements where needed.
  • Develop and operationalize quality metrics, scorecards, reporting, and governance processes.
  • Facilitate cross-team alignment, prioritization, and issue resolution.
  • Track remediation efforts and progress against identified improvement opportunities.
  • Create executive-ready presentations, status updates, and leadership communications.
  • Support adoption of new processes, standards, and operating-model improvements.
  • Help leadership translate strategic objectives into actionable execution plans across QE teams.

Required Skills / Experience:

  • Senior QE leadership, transformation, governance, or program leadership experience.
  • Strong understanding of SDLC, testing strategy, quality governance, and release-readiness practices.
  • Experience leading organizational change and process-improvement initiatives.
  • Experience developing metrics, KPI frameworks, scorecards, and executive reporting.
  • Proven ability to influence and drive outcomes across multiple teams without direct authority.
  • Strong facilitation, stakeholder-management, and executive communication skills.
  • Experience working directly with senior leaders, directors, and architects.
  • Ability to convert assessment findings and recommendations into measurable operational improvements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
