• Deliver executive-level quality reports covering coverage, defect trends, escape analysis, and release risk scorecards.

3) Defect and incident governance 

• Organize defect triage meeting; enforce SLA-driven prioritization, root-cause classification, and preventive action tracking.
• Drive corrective and preventive actions with different departments.
• Assess business impact, validate hotfixes, and author incident reports when there is a production issue.

4) Team leadership and quality advocacy

• Mentor team of QA Analysts; conduct test design reviews, knowledge sharing, and career development.
• Champion shift-left practices: refine user stories, improve testability.

1) Experience

• 6+ years in software testing with 2+ years in QA lead/supervisory capacity.

• Data-driven leader: fluent in test metrics, funnel analysis, and quality forecasting.  Exceptional stakeholder management and fluent business communication in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
