Responsibilities

Create and maintain test cases tied to acceptance criteria and real user flows
Prioritize by risk to protect the highest-impact paths first
Execute manual tests; log “dev-ready” defects with clear repro steps and data
Validate data with basic SQL (read/write simple queries, joins, filters)
Push for clarity early: flag gaps, reject unclear stories, and partner with Project Managers and Business Analysts to solidify customer requirements
Establish lightweight QA guardrails (where test cases live, how they’re written, how they’re kept current)
Tighten UAT: shorten cycles, reduce rework, and improve signal quality
Publish simple metrics (coverage, escaped defects on covered flows, UAT cycle time)
Build an initial backlog of high-ROI automation candidates as we scale
