We’re seeking a Manager, QA to lead quality assurance across our product teams, ensuring our customer-facing platforms and internal tools deliver reliable, high-quality experiences for students, parents, and educators. This role focuses on teacher and parent applications, subscription flows, and reporting tools.
In this role, you’ll be setting the direction of QA across multiple product teams, coaching QA team members, and evolving testing practices to balance speed, risk, and technical rigor.
