Assess risk, advise on testing, and resolve any non-compliance efficiently. • Customer Excellence: Champion product quality at all times and spearhead initiatives to reduce customer returns through superior fit and construction. • Process Innovation: Identify, manage, and deliver new projects, feeding back recommendations to the QA Manager to continuously improve our technical procedures.
