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!** 🙂 Would love to hear your thoughts though? 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/does-your-organisation-have-staff-level-quality-roles/86073)._
