Test & Validation Lead – HYBRID (Sant Cugat-Barcelona)

At Nuvolar, we build tailor-made solutions for highly regulated and complex sectors, combining modern technology with a people-first mindset. With 100+ team members and 14+ years of experience, we foster a collaborative culture that encourages professional growth and personal well-being.

About the Role

Despite the title, this is not a people manager position. It’s a Test/Validation Lead role focused on test planning, coverage, traceability, and documentation. There is already an existing testing team — your job is to keep the quality “control tower” complete, consistent, and audit-friendly across two POC products (legacy + new). You’ll report into an international structure (line manager in Switzerland) and work English-first.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain test strategy, test plans, and coverage control across releases/products.
• Ensure traceability: requirements → test cases → execution evidence → defects.
• Maintain systematic documentation and quality reporting (status, risks, gaps, readiness).
• Coordinate with the existing testing team to ensure execution aligns with plans and coverage.
• Be the QA interface for stakeholders in an international setup (strong English comms).
• Keep enough technical curiosity to understand how the product works (without being the implementer).

Qualifications

• 4+ years in QA, with strong exposure to test management / validation / QA lead responsibilities.
• Strong planning, traceability, documentation, and quality-control mindset.
• Experience with test management tooling (Jira/Xray or similar).
• Comfortable working across teams and handling stakeholders in English.
• Strong communication skills in English and experience working in Agile environments.

What to expect from us?

• Flexible Work & Work-Life Balance: enjoy options to balance work and personal life, including every other Friday off.
• Hybrid Work Mode: for this specific project, onsite presence is required 2 days per week. While the days are not strictly fixed, they are usually Tuesday and Thursday. The rest of the week can be remote.
• Seniority Program: additional benefits and privileges as you grow with the company.
• Social & Team Budget:  even though we primarily work remotely, we encourage team gatherings and activities, with a dedicated budget.
• Continuous Learning: training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
• Growth Opportunities: participate in challenging projects with modern frameworks and influence QA strategy.
