• Proactively identify and mitigate risks during early planning stages.
• Lead testing strategy and execution in a highly collaborative Agile environment.
• Break down large, complex stories into smaller, testable pieces with clearly defined acceptance criteria.
• Design, document, and maintain manual test cases for complex scenarios.
• Execute exploratory, session-based, and risk-based tests.
• Help build and manage test environments.
• Stay ahead of the curve by researching new tools, trends, and technologies.
• Provide mentorship to junior testers or team members (if interested).
