Senior Test Manager - Viby J

 Senior Test Manager – Lead Automation & Quality Engineering 
 

Are you motivated by shaping how modern digital solutions are tested, validated, and delivered? As our new Senior Test Manager, you will play a key role in ensuring that STARK Group’s digital platforms are reliable, futureready, and built on a strong foundation of structured testing and automation. This is a role where your expertise will influence not only the solutions we deliver, but the wider transformation journey across STARK Group. 

You will join an international IT organisation undergoing significant change: new platforms, new ways of working, and new expectations for quality. While development teams focus on building and enhancing their solutions, your role is to secure the quality of these solutions endtoend - creating clarity around testing needs, driving automation standards, and strengthening our ability to deliver stable releases in an increasingly complex environment. 

 
Key Responsibilities

As Senior Test Manager, you take responsibility for quality across the full lifecycle of the applications you support. You will be part of a dedicated QA team of five Test Managers, working closely with DevOps, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and Developers to ensure shared goals, clarity, and effective delivery. 

A core focus of your role will be to build and maintain automation frameworks (primarily in C# with Playwright), manage testing activities within the projects, and mentor testing resources to develop reliable automated regression suites that strengthen our release cycles. You will help embed automated testing into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring earlier defect detection and greater release-confidence. 

Alongside automation, you will analyse requirements and user stories, translate them into comprehensive test cases, and ensure end-to-end scenarios are covered. You will identify defects with precision, document them clearly, and collaborate with developers to secure timely resolution.  

How You Will Be Successful in the Role 

You create real value when you

• Deliver clear, reliable testing outcomes that stakeholders trust 

• Strengthen team satisfaction by bringing structure, clarity, and shared ownership to testing 

• Increase automation coverage and reduce defect leakage through robust automation and CI/CD integration 

• Ensure every release is stable, welltested, and ready to support operations across the organisation 

• Provide documentation and reporting that helps leadership make informed decisions  

• Raise testing maturity by promoting best practices and mentoring colleagues  

What You Bring 

We are looking for someone who is structured, curious, and committed to high quality. You enjoy translating complexity into reliable solutions and take pride in ensuring that what we deliver is robust and ready for real use. 

We are looking for someone with:  

• 5+ years in test leadership or senior test roles with a proven experience in designing and implementing test automation frameworks for software testing. 

• Proven experience designing and implementing test automation frameworks, including hands‑on work with tools such as Playwright, Selenium, Appium, Tosca, Leapwork, or Cypress. 

• Strong programming skills in C#, Java, or Python and practical experience with API testing using tools like Postman. 

• A solid manual testing foundation supported by ISTQB certification, with the ability to translate requirements into comprehensive, high‑quality test scenarios. 

• A structured, transparent, and detail‑oriented approach that strengthens alignment and test coverage across teams. 

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in international, crossfunctional environments 

In return, you will join a visible and strategically important area of STARK Group IT, where quality shapes our digital transformation. You will be part of a professional Test & QA community that values trust, teamwork, and continuous development. Here, quality is not an afterthought - it is essential to supporting thousands of colleagues across eight countries.
