Role Title: Sr. Manager – Testing and Quality
Role Purpose:
The Senior Manager – Testing & Quality is responsible for leading and executing the full testing lifecycle for all health insurance, digital, and NPHIES‑related technology initiatives. This role ensures that every system, integration, and transaction—spanning eligibility, claims, prior authorization, provider interactions, coding standards, and data exchange meets functional accuracy, performance, security, and regulatory compliance expectations. The Senior Manager oversees hands‑on test planning, test execution, defect management, automation development, non‑functional validation, and end‑to‑end quality assurance to guarantee reliable, compliant, and high‑performing solutions.
This role requires deep expertise in health insurance operations and NPHIES workflows, coupled with strong technical testing capabilities. The Senior Manager drives quality execution across manual testing, automation, performance testing, and data validation while embedding structured, repeatable testing practices across teams. Through rigorous test execution, continuous improvement, and strict adherence to health interoperability standards.
