A quality-first leader with deep expertise in testing enterprise-scale financial systems—particularly in the PeopleSoft FSCM ecosystem. You bring a sharp eye for detail when it comes to checks, wires, ACH, and complex payment workflows. You are highly analytical, process-oriented, and passionate about enforcing quality in both data integrity and system behavior. With a solid foundation in financial operations and QA automation, you know how to build robust validation frameworks, streamline regression coverage, and ensure high reliability across mission-critical payment processes. You are energized by solving hard problems at the intersection of finance and tech, and you take pride in proactively uncovering edge cases others might miss.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:- Own end-to-end quality assurance for Zinnia’s enterprise payments systems across AP, Cash Management, ACH, Wires, and Check Processing workflows.
