Your mission : Drive Quality Excellence at Scale - Captain the Transformation

Are you passionate about empowering teams to build exceptional products?  Do you thrive on transforming how organizations think? 

As a captain, not just a coach, you'll lead by doing while transforming how our teams approach quality from "Gatekeeping" to "Enabling."

This is not a traditional QA Manager position and this isn't about process ownership - it's about business ownership of quality outcomes that directly impact user satisfaction, retention, and business growth. You'll be pioneering a new approach to quality at Deezer, where:

• QA Partners act as enablers, not gatekeepers

• Quality is embedded throughout the development lifecycle

• Developers own the entire test pyramid

• Product Managers actively participate in quality validation

• Data and production insights drive continuous improvement

Among your responsibilities you will:

• Lead QA Partners in their ongoing evolution from testers to enablers and quality coaches

• Build and deploy innovative solutions for test creation, QA Brief assistance, and quality validation

• Define and champion the transverse quality vision across Core Product teams

• Establish quality standards and frameworks that align with business objectives and user experience goals

• Drive data-driven quality decisions through implementation of key metrics

• Develop cross-functional quality skills by training developers and product managers in quality practices

• Promote observability and production monitoring for proactive quality insights

With the other quality leaders you will establish a governance with clear KPIs, ownership, and communication mechanisms for the whole Product & Tech division.

Leadership & Transformation:

• Engineering Management with quality-focused teams

• Self starter with proven experience leading transformation initiatives

• Strong change management and influence skills

Communication & Collaboration:

• Great communication and storytelling abilities

• Demonstrated ability to build trust, navigate resistance, and turn skeptics into supporters

Technical Foundation:

• Understanding of modern quality practices

• Experience with quality governance and data-driven decision making

Execution Excellence:

• Track record of delivering results through others

• Resilience and persistence in driving long-term transformation despite setbacks and imperfect processes

At Deezer, diversity drives innovation. Whatever makes you uniquely you, your experiences, your way of thinking, your journey, might be exactly what we need.
