QA Automation Manager

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States; Hoffman Estates, Illinois, United States; Hudson, Ohio, United States

PartsSource is the leading technology and software platform for managing mission-critical healthcare equipment. Trusted by over 5,000 US hospitals and 15,000 clinical sites, PartsSource empowers providers and service organizations to maximize clinical availability for patient care and automates the procurement of parts, services and training through a unique digital experience.


PartsSource team members are deeply committed to our mission of Ensuring Healthcare is Always On®, which is foundational to our success and growth. Our vibrant culture is built upon aligned values, shared ownership, mutual respect, and a passion for collaborating to solve complex customer problems.

About the Job Opportunity

The QA Automation Manager owns software quality outcomes across PartsSource’s critical product portfolio, including our Salesforce platform. This is a senior people-management role that combines deep technical expertise in automation architecture with proven team-building experience and a track record of leading organizations from manual testing to automation-first practices.

You will directly manage and grow a team of automation engineers, lead offshore automation resources across time zones, and partner closely with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to embed quality at every stage of the delivery lifecycle. This is the most consequential quality role in the organization — we’re looking for a proven change agent who has done this before and is ready to do it again.

What You'll Do

Team Leadership & People Management

  • Directly manage, hire, develop, and retain a team of automation engineers; own performance reviews, coaching, and career development within the QA function.
  • Lead and coordinate offshore automation teams across multiple time zones, maintaining delivery accountability and team cohesion.
  • Set clear performance expectations, build a culture of quality ownership, and develop automation engineers in best practices and technical rigor.

Manual-to-Automation Transformation

  • Define and execute the strategy and roadmap for transitioning QA operations from predominantly manual testing to a mature, automation-first practice.
  • Establish the frameworks, upskilling plans, and success metrics to drive and sustain 100% automation coverage across the product lifecycle.
  • Serve as the organizational change agent for quality — influencing engineering and product culture, not just technical tooling.

Automation Architecture & Execution

  • Design and validate scalable, maintainable test automation architectures using Playwright and/or Selenium; own framework decisions from design through production.
  • Lead automation coverage across web, API (REST/GraphQL), mobile (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest), and Salesforce platforms — including Lightning UI, custom components, flows, and Salesforce APIs.
  • Integrate automation pipelines with CI/CD tooling and cloud-based testing platforms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or equivalent) for consistent, scalable execution.
  • Apply AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent) to accelerate test code generation and improve automation ROI.

Quality Standards & Delivery Management

  • Manage delivery timelines and communicate program health, risks, and quality metrics to technical, business, and executive stakeholders.
  • Establish and enforce test management practices using enterprise tools (TestRail, Xray for Jira, PractiTest, or equivalent); validate artifact quality before every deployment.
  • Own test infrastructure provisioning within containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes); troubleshoot complex test failures and performance issues across distributed platforms.
  • Drive continuous improvement in test coverage, execution speed, and automation ROI; report progress against transformation goals to engineering and product leadership.

What You'll Bring

Required

  • 5+ years of direct people-management experience, including hiring, performance reviews, coaching, and career development of QA and automation engineers.
  • Demonstrated track record of leading a manual-to-automation transformation — defining the strategy, roadmap, frameworks, upskilling plan, and metrics to get there.
  • Expert-level proficiency with Playwright and/or Selenium (5+ years); proven ability to architect and scale production-grade automation frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience automating Salesforce applications — including Lightning UI, custom components, flows, and Salesforce APIs — using tools such as Provar, Copado, Selenium, or Playwright.
  • Expertise in API testing (REST/GraphQL) and mobile automation (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest) across multiple platforms and device configurations.
  • Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines for automated test execution and reporting at scale; familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized test environments.
  • Demonstrated use of AI-assisted tools to accelerate test development and improve team productivity.
  • Strong communication skills — comfortable presenting to technical, business, and C-level audiences.

Preferred

  • Experience with load and performance testing tools (JMeter, k6, Gatling, LoadRunner, or equivalent).
  • Background in Agile/Scrum environments and sprint-level QA planning.
  • Advanced knowledge of test data management strategies.

Who We Want to Meet

Act Like an Owner

  • You take full accountability for quality outcomes — not just test execution. You own the team, the transformation roadmap, and the standard of work that ships. Accountability & Execution, Results Driven

Serve with Purpose

  • You understand that quality infrastructure directly protects patient care. You bring urgency and rigor to your work because the downstream stakes are real. Clear & Critical Thinking, Relationship Management

Adapt to Thrive

  • You’ve led teams through significant change before and know how to bring people along. You stay current on tooling and patterns — and you translate what you learn into team capability. Learning Agility, Resilience

Collaborate to Win

  • You build trust across Engineering, Product, and DevOps through clear communication and consistent follow-through. You manage distributed teams with structure, clarity, and care. Team Orientation, Alignment & Cohesion

Challenge the Status Quo

  • You question manual processes, surface inefficiencies, and drive adoption of better patterns. You back improvement proposals with data and a concrete implementation plan. Curiosity & Problem Solving, Continuous Improvement

Benefits & Perks  

  • Competitive compensation package with salary, incentives, company ownership/equity, and comprehensive benefits (401k match, health, college debt reduction, and more!) 
  • Career and professional development through training, coaching and new experiences. 
  • Hybrid culture with new & beautiful workspaces that balance flexibility, collaboration, and productivity. 
  • Inclusive and diverse community of passionate professionals learning and growing together.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
