Quality Assurance Manager (remote)

We are Surgence.

We are done accepting a healthcare supply chain that breaks when it's needed most. Surgence exists to keep healthcare alive in every community by transforming how the industry thinks, strategizes, and executes.

We are building more than software. We are building an industry operating hub - an orchestration layer above systems of record - where visibility becomes shared truth and insight becomes coordinated action across enterprises.

We believe fragmentation is the root cause of failure. Disconnected systems, teams, and decisions create blind spots, delay response, and drive waste - especially during disruption. Surgence exists to replace fragmentation with coordination.

As a team member at Surgence, you'll be signing up for a rocket ride where reinvention is constant. We move with urgency, embrace intensity, and prioritize outcomes over activity. Charging through the storm together, we will not be satisfied until reliable care is the default - everywhere.

Surgence is a cloud-based ecosystem committed to revolutionizing the healthcare supply chain. The platform serves as a comprehensive solution for providers, distributors and suppliers, ensuring seamless coordination, efficiency and visibility across the supply chain. Surgence integrates flexible connectivity and development, advanced analytics, alerts and workflow capabilities to enable proactive decision-making, risk mitigation and collaborative forecasting to advance the healthcare supply chain. We are seeking a dynamic and experienced leader to lead the Customer Success team and play a pivotal role in the development of our groundbreaking supply chain technology platform.

The scope of this role includes ensuring quality standards across B2B SaaS software solutions, data governance frameworks, and security assurance programs. The Quality Assurance Manager is accountable for delivering reliable, compliant, and high-performing releases that meet the expectations of enterprise customers and support long-term business growth.

• Lead and execute the endtoend Quality Assurance strategy aligned to the Product Delivery Lifecycle (PDLC), embedding quality from discovery through release and operations, including AIassisted delivery workflows.
• Define and enforce releasereadiness standards covering functional and nonfunctional quality, data accuracy, security, compliance, and operational stability.
• Establish and execute riskbased test strategies (manual and automated), including exploratory testing, regression coverage, and validation of complex, multitenant B2B SaaS platforms.
• Own data quality assurance practices, including validation of data integrity, lineage, analytics outputs, and governed metrics across ingestion, transformation, and application layers.
• Embed security and compliance validation into QA practices, including access controls, secure data handling, and environment safety checks.
• Select, implement, and optimize QA tools, frameworks, and CI/CDintegrated testing approaches that balance speed with release confidence.
• Define validation and monitoring strategies for AI/MLenabled features, including accuracy, bias, edgecase testing, and regression or drift detection where applicable.
• Provide clear visibility into quality posture through defect trends, release readiness assessments, and documented risk, escalating issues that could impact customers or commitments.

• Provide visible, handson leadership for complex, highrisk, or firstofkind initiatives, modeling sound judgment, technical credibility, and calm decisionmaking in regulated, highly integrated, or ambiguous environments.
• Operate as a trusted partner to Product, Engineering, Delivery, Data, and Security leadership, fostering early alignment, surfacing crossfunctional risks, and resolving issues through collaboration rather than downstream escalation.
• Build and sustain a highperforming Quality Assurance organization through thoughtful hiring, intentional onboarding, coaching, mentoring, and performance management.
• Define and evolve QA roles, responsibilities, career paths, and growth expectations that scale with platform complexity and organizational maturity.
• Champion a culture of shared accountability for quality, influencing teams to own outcomes while keeping QA lightweight, pragmatic, and enablementfocused.
• Establish organizational guardrails for responsible AI usage across QA and Engineering, reinforcing expectations around data privacy, auditability, transparency of AIgenerated artifacts, and appropriate human oversight.
• Serve as a risk and readiness advisor to senior leadership, clearly framing tradeoffs, recommending release decisions, and grounding discussions in evidence rather than process.
• Escalate material risks with clarity and proportionality, ensuring potential impacts to customer trust, regulatory obligations, or business commitments are understood early.
• Influence priorities, timelines, and commitments through credible risk assessment, clear communication, and principled decisionmaking - balancing speed with longterm quality and trust.

• A bachelor's degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Quality Engineering, or a related field is required, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of experience in Quality Assurance and/or Quality Engineering, including at least 5 years in a peopleleadership role, with demonstrated success building, scaling, and maturing QA functions, teams, and operating practices.

• Experience with data quality and data governance is required, including validation of data integrity, lineage, analytics outputs, and reporting controls across systems.
• The role requires experience supporting security and compliance assurance activities, including validation of access controls, permissions, and testing requirements in regulated environments.
• A working knowledge of modern automation and AIenabled quality practices is expected, including the use of AI tools to accelerate test design, automation, analysis, and documentation, with strong judgment around verification, traceability, and protection of sensitive data.
• Technical proficiency in Foundryrelevant languages and paradigms such as Python, SQL, and ontologydriven design is required, along with the ability to evaluate AIgenerated code and test artifacts for correctness, maintainability, and risk.
• The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a playercoach capacity, balancing handson execution with leadership, mentoring, and team development.
• Strong analytical, problemsolving, and decisionmaking skills are essential, along with a proactive and pragmatic approach to quality and risk management in fastmoving, ambiguous environments.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills are required, including the ability to translate business and stakeholder needs into effective quality strategies and technical solutions.
• Experience in healthcare and/or supply chain domains is preferred, as is comfort working in regulated environments or closely with operational and logistics teams supporting nontechnical end users.
• Employment is contingent upon the ability to successfully pass a postoffer preemployment background check and drug screening.
