Job Description

Project Manager - QA

San Jose, CA (100% onsite)

3+ months

Pay: $45/hr. W2

Overview

We're looking for a Project Manager with a good understanding of QA processes to join us for a short-term engagement. Hands-on QA experience is a strong plus but not required - what matters most is a solid grasp of QA fundamentals and the ability to work closely with QA and technical teams. This person will work across cross-functional teams and multiple concurrent projects to assess, align, and standardize our QA processes. This is a hands-on role for someone who can quickly build credibility with technical teams, diagnose gaps in existing QA practices, and drive toward a consistent, repeatable process across the organization.

Responsibilities:

  • Partner with cross-functional teams across multiple active projects to understand current QA practices, tools, and pain points
  • Assess existing QA processes and identify inconsistencies, gaps, and opportunities for standardization
  • Design and roll out a standardized QA framework/process that can scale across teams and projects
  • Facilitate alignment between technical managers, engineers, and QA resources on new processes and expectations
  • Document standardized QA workflows, guidelines, and best practices for long-term adoption
  • Identify risks and blockers early, and proactively communicate status to stakeholders
  • Drive change management, helping teams understand and adopt new processes with minimal disruption

Required skills:

  • Proven experience as a Project Manager, with either hands-on QA experience or a strong working understanding of QA practices (e.g., gained from working closely with QA teams)
  • Solid understanding of QA processes, methodologies, and best practices (e.g., test planning, test case management, defect tracking, regression testing, release/QA sign-off processes)
  • Experience standardizing or improving processes across multiple teams or projects
  • Comfortable managing multiple projects and competing priorities simultaneously
  • Strong communication skills; ability to work effectively with both technical team members and technical managers/leadership
  • Ability to quickly ramp up, build trust, and drive results in a short engagement window
  • Comfortable operating independently with minimal onboarding time
