• Stakeholder Communication: Providing concise status updates in stand-ups and explaining complex QA issues in accessible language for non-technical audiences.

• Process Improvement: Implementing local process enhancements and evaluating new tools or techniques to improve team efficiency.

• Collaboration: Managing QA tasks independently and supporting the onboarding of new team members into the squad’s QA workflows.
