LEAD UAT & MANUAL QA:
- Define test scenarios, test cases, and test data requirements for complex payroll workflows.
- Perform hands-on manual UAT across workflows, validating accuracy, usability, and operational readiness.
- Execute end-to-end testing, including feature flag sequencing, environment setup, and multi-entity test configurations.
PARTNER DEEPLY WITH PRODUCT, ENGINEERING, CLIENT OPS & RELEASE MANAGEMENT:
- Work side-by-side with Product, Design, and Engineering throughout development to influence quality earlier in the lifecycle.
- Surface defects, edge cases, and workflow gaps early, enabling teams to course-correct before features reach Client Ops.
- Partner with Engineering and third-party teams to determine what should be automated vs. manually tested.
APPLY INDUSTRY & OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE:
- Use entertainment industry domain knowledge to validate that solutions work in real-world entertainment payroll operations.
- Pressure-test assumptions around HTG, union rules, FTV vs. commercial nuances, and cross-persona workflows.
- Ensure UAT sessions serve as final validation, not first discovery—raising confidence for launches and enablement.
