• Collaborate with environment and data teams to ensure test readiness: appropriate 
environments, data sets, and automation pipelines. 
• Manage defect lifecycle: logging, prioritization, root cause analysis, retesting, and 
closure. 
• Drive continuous integration / continuous testing practices, working closely with 
DevOps and release teams. 
• Provide reporting on test execution, automation coverage, defects, and readiness 
metrics to leadership. 
• Promote best practices in test automation: code reusability, modularization, 
maintainability, and performance validation. 
• Ensure compliance with audit, controls, and regulatory requirements relevant to 
manufacturing and toy safety.
