Role and Responsibilities
1. Functional & Manual Testing

- Perform functional, UI/UX, regression, smoke, and cross-browser/cross-device testing before every release
- Verify that delivered features match the approved design (Figma) and the agreed requirements or SRS
- Test multilingual and RTL (Arabic) layouts, payment flows, forms, and e-commerce journeys where applicable
2. Test Planning & Documentation
- Read requirement documents, user stories, and designs to prepare test scenarios and test cases before development is complete
- Maintain structured test case sheets, test execution logs, and release checklists for every project
- Write clear, reproducible bug reports with steps, expected vs actual results, screenshots or screen recordings, and severity/priority
- Track defects from logging to closure and re-verify fixes before sign-off
3. Release Coordination & Sign-off
- Own the pre-release quality gate: confirm what is tested, what is open, and whether a build is ready to ship
- Coordinate UAT with clients, collect and consolidate their feedback, and convert it into actionable tickets for the team
- Prepare concise QA status summaries for internal stand-ups and client updates
4. Task Tracking & Follow-ups
- Maintain project trackers, task boards, and milestone timelines for the projects being tested
- Follow up with designers and developers on pending fixes, blockers, and deadlines
- Keep meeting notes, action items, and decision logs updated and circulated
- Flag scope changes, timeline risks, and dependency issues early to the project lead
5. Client & Team Communication
- Communicate clearly and professionally with clients across India and international markets over email, WhatsApp, and calls
- Translate client feedback into precise technical requirements for the team, and technical constraints into plain language for clients
- Work closely with UI/UX designers, developers, and content teams to keep deliverables on schedule
6. Process & Continuous Improvement
- Suggest improvements to QA checklists, bug-tracking workflows, and release processes
- Stay current with testing tools, mobile/web platform updates, and QA best practices
- Contribute to internal documentation, onboarding material, and reusable test templates
Essential Requirements

- Solid understanding of the software development life cycle and the testing life cycle (STLC)
- Ability to write structured test cases and clear, reproducible bug reports
- Strong attention to detail with the discipline to test thoroughly rather than quickly
- Strong written and spoken communication skills in English, with the confidence to speak with clients and lead follow-ups
- Naturally organised: comfortable maintaining trackers, checklists, and timelines, and chasing pending items without being reminded
- A sense of ownership — takes responsibility for the quality and timely delivery of the projects assigned, not just the tickets
- Ability to handle multiple client projects and shifting priorities simultaneously
