Does your organisation have Staff level Quality roles?

The short answer is: Not yet.

The career trajectory for QA as I have known through years: (Bottom to top)

  • Intern QA
  • Associate QA
  • QA
  • Senior QA
  • QA Lead
  • QA Manager
  • Principle QA
  • Head of QA Department.

I have heard about this role, but never came across any person with this title until now.

If the organizations would hire someone like Staff Quality Engineer: I believe someone with vast expertise in software industry standards & ISO 5055, help in making software company achieved that level.

The influence this person might have of course earning tenders/bids - authority of accepting or rejecting certain client proposals.

Someone who holds an authority and can easily share trail of dos/dont’s within “Quality perspective” with higher authorities internally and externally.

I believe also a person responsible for ‘QA Standard Audits’ by external parties whether QA process is in compliance with legal standards and responsible for due diligence.

As they say: With great power comes great responsibility! :slight_smile:

Would love to hear your thoughts though? :slight_smile:
