Senior Test Lead (AI Governance Platform)

The AI Control Tower is running a Proof of Concept (PoC) and subsequent rollout of an AI governance platform, evaluating Holistic AI and Airia LLC against a defined set of functional, technical, and compliance requirements. The QA Specialist owns test strategy, execution, and defect management across this process — ensuring the selected platform performs as required before and after full deployment, and that evidence of that performance is documented and defensible.

• Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3+ years of QA / software testing experience, ideally involving enterprise platform rollouts or vendor PoCs.
• Demonstrated experience writing test plans and test cases directly from functional and technical requirements.
• Working experience with defect/issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira) and Kanban-based ways of working.
• Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail and clear written documentation.
• Fluent English, written and spoken; comfortable working with cross-functional and multi-vendors teams.
• Test planning, execution, and requirements traceability.
• Defect management and root-cause coordination with vendors.
• Stakeholder communication across business, procurement, and technical teams.
• Structured, evidence-based reporting.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving, PoC-stage environment.

Nice to have:

• Prior exposure to AI/ML systems, AI governance, or model-risk testing.
• Familiarity with recognized AI governance frameworks
• Experience in a regulated industry (e.g., pharmaceutical)
• Experience testing endpoint-deployed software across a large, distributed user base.
• Agile/Scrum or Kanban delivery experience within a small, cross-functional team.
