Own Quality at Scale Across a Complex Salesforce Ecosystem

Trissential is hiring a Senior Test Lead / Test Manager to join our client’s team and take ownership of portfolio‑level quality and release readiness across a large, integrated Salesforce ecosystem. This is a senior, high‑visibility role where you’ll lead through influence—setting strategy, enforcing governance, and ensuring risk transparency—without direct people management.

If you thrive in complex enterprise environments, enjoy being the accountable authority for quality outcomes, and know how to balance strategy with execution, this role was built for you.

What’s in It for You?

• Enterprise‑Level Impact – Own portfolio test readiness across Salesforce, mobile, web, APIs, and backend systems
• Leadership Without Burnout – Influence outcomes through governance, strategy, and accountability—not daily line management
• True Work‑Life Balance – 40‑hour work week, business hours, no weekends
• Strategic Partnership Model – Work closely with product, architecture, release management, and enterprise quality leadership
• Modern Testing Focus – Automation, AI‑assisted testing, and continuous improvement are encouraged
• Location Flexibility – Open to fully remote candidates with quarterly travel

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Own portfolio‑level test planning, governance enforcement, and risk management
• Serve as the accountable authority for portfolio and release test sign‑off
• Provide oversight and direction to offshore test leads and teams (~140 resources) across multiple vendors
• Coordinate testing across concurrent initiatives and complex, multi‑release portfolios
• Act as the primary conduit for test status, quality metrics, and release risk reporting to portfolio leadership
• Partner closely with product teams, release management, architecture, and enterprise quality leadership
• Ensure system integrators adhere to enterprise testing standards, KPIs, and governance models
• Act as an escalation point for quality issues, delivery risks, and process deviations
• Drive continuous improvement in testing processes, automation strategy, and quality outcomes

Skills & Experience You Should Possess

• 10+ years of experience as a Test Lead, Test Manager, Program Test Lead, or Portfolio QA Lead
• Extensive Salesforce testing experience within large, integrated enterprise platforms
• Strong knowledge of mobile, web, and API testing across complex system landscapes
• Deep understanding of enterprise test strategies, KPIs, governance, and release readiness
• Proven experience leading large, multi‑release portfolios in matrixed environments
• Proficiency with Jira and Xray for test and requirements management
• Exceptional soft skills—strong communication, accountability, documentation, and cross‑functional collaboration
• Ability to challenge teams constructively and enforce quality standards

Tools & Technologies You’ll Work With

• Jira with Xray (test & product management)
• Automation: Playwright (web), Appium (mobile via Sauce Labs), Karate (API)
• Mobile testing via Sauce Labs
• API & backend technologies: Apigee, Informatica, ETL testing
• Salesforce (core platform and large‑scale implementations)
• Microsoft Copilot and AI‑assisted testing tools
• Exposure to AI‑assisted or modern testing practices
• Experience working in regulated industries (utilities strongly preferred)
• Prior oversight of system integrators and large offshore testing teams
• Familiarity with Tricentis testing tools

Education & Certifications You Need

• No formal education requirements
• Certifications such as ISTQB, SAFe, Agile, or Salesforce credentials are nice to have but not required
