Portfolio QA Lead
Employment Type: W2 Only (No C2C or 1099)
Duration: 12-Month W2 Contract
Location: St. Louis, Missouri, 63103

Job Description: 
The Portfolio QA Lead provides consistent testing governance and quality oversight across every digital project within an assigned portfolio. Filled by a coworker or consultant partner, this role owns the execution of the Enterprise Testing Gates and ensures testing standards are applied uniformly regardless of which team or vendor delivers the project.

• Execute the five Enterprise Testing Gates for all Project Testing Leads within the assigned portfolio.
• Provide a single, consistent governance point across every project in the portfolio.
• Keep gate decisions independent of day-to-day project test execution and prevent self-certification; where the Portfolio QA Lead also serves as Project Testing Lead, a coworker Testing Lead executes the gates instead.
• Confirm requirements, scope, and acceptance criteria are ready to support testing at the Test Readiness Assessment.
• Verify the solution design supports functional, integration, performance, security, and resiliency testing.
• Confirm automation and long-term regression readiness before Build completes.
• Validate environments, data, integrations, and test assets prior to SIT entry.
• Assess testing completion, defect status, and deployment readiness prior to go-live.
• Ensure ETS standards are adopted on all portfolio projects above the small project threshold.
• Mentor, onboard, and support Project Testing Leads across the portfolio.
• Drive adoption of ETS dashboards and reporting to give leadership portfolio-level quality visibility.
• Identify where test automation and performance testing should be leveraged across the portfolio.
• Escalate cross-project testing risks, issues, and resource needs to ETS leadership.
