The ideal candidate will have strong experience in integration testing, API/web service testing (JSON/SOAP), and excellent stakeholder management skills. A solid understanding of commercial insurance concepts is essential, and experience with Selenium automation will be considered an advantage.

- Validate APIs and message formats using JSON and SOAP, leveraging SoapUI or equivalent tools.
- Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, developers, and operations teams to identify and resolve system-level issues and manage dependencies.
- Establish and maintain test metrics, dashboards, and quality gates to inform release decisions and promote continuous improvement.
- Mentor and guide both manual and automation testers, reviewing test artifacts to ensure adherence to best practices.
- Participate in release planning, risk assessments, and post-release validation activities.
Required Skills & Experience
- Proven experience leading end-to-end and integration testing across multiple teams in a complex program environment.
- Strong hands-on expertise in API/web service testing using JSON and SOAP protocols.
- Proficiency in tools such as SoapUI (or similar) for REST and SOAP API validation.
- Solid understanding of commercial insurance concepts, workflows, and common product flows.
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and cross-team coordination skills.
- Demonstrated experience in test planning, strategy definition, and driving execution to meet delivery timelines.
- Familiarity with defect lifecycle management and test management tools such as JIRA, TestRail, or HP ALM.
Good to Have

- Hands-on experience with test automation using Selenium and related frameworks.
- Exposure to JSON schema validation, contract testing, or API mocking tools.
