  • Bring a proactive, clear quality narrative to your manager and partner teams
  • Partner closely with engineering managers, PMs, designers, and peer QE managers
  • Set up team processes (release pipelines, test planning, escalations, etc) that hold up without you checking every step
  • Own a portfolio-level view of quality
