This is a remote role in the US.

  • Embed AI-augmented testing methods into client CI/CD pipelines, ensuring continuous quality at speed.

Team Development & Thought Leadership (15%)

  • Build and mentor a high-performing, innovation-driven team skilled in modern AI/ML testing techniques.
  • Build a sustainable leadership pipeline through intentional mentoring and growth opportunities
  • Drive internal knowledge sharing and establish Nagarro as a thought leader in AI-augmented test automation.

Financial and Operational Leadership (10%)

  • Drive P&L performance through strategic financial planning and operational efficiency
  • Deliver accurate forecasting and margin management while scaling innovative offerings.

Qualifications

Business and Delivery Leadership

  • 10+ years of experience leading delivery, sales, or business management within IT services, QA, or software engineering.
  • Proven success scaling business units, achieving consistent 20%+ YoY revenue growth, and managing full P&L ownership.

Testing and Technology Expertise

  • Strong understanding of modern QA and Testing approaches, including AI- and ML-driven testing strategies, smart automation frameworks, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience implementing AI-powered testing tools (e.g., self-healing scripts, intelligent defect prediction, dynamic test generation).

Sales and Client Management

  • Demonstrated ability to engage clients consultatively around next-generation testing solutions.
  • Skilled at positioning innovation (especially AI/ML capabilities) as a driver of business value.

Operational and Financial Acumen

  • Deep experience with forecasting, financial management, and margin improvement strategies.
  • Ability to scale delivery operations while maintaining or improving profit margins.

  • Track record of building and retaining high-performing, innovation-driven teams.
