About The Role

At Bunnings, we’re investing in our in-house software engineering capability to shape the future of our tech platforms. As our new Quality Analyst Lead, you’ll play a key role in driving quality outcomes at scale - leading a passionate team, uplifting testing practices and embedding performance strategies that make a real difference to our customers and teams.

This is a leadership opportunity where your impact will be felt across the business. You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking technology group that’s all about continuous improvement, innovation and inspiring you to give it a red hot go.
 

As a Quality Analyst Lead you will:

• Lead and grow a team of 10+ Quality Analysts and Senior Analysts, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration and high performance.
• Shape and deliver a test strategy that supports agile product development across both commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and in-house platforms.
• Champion test automation - designing frameworks, embedding practices and enabling squads to deliver faster, more reliable outcomes.
• Drive performance testing programs that enhance customer experience and ensure scalability and supportability.
• Collaborate with delivery leads, architects and product owners to align testing across the full delivery lifecycle - from system testing to UAT.
• Leverage modern tools (including AI-powered solutions) to uplift testing capabilities and streamline delivery.
• Influence ways-of-working and contribute to shaping a positive, outcome-focused team culture.

You are a people-focused leader who excels in fast-paced, agile environments. While you have a strong technical background in quality assurance, your talent for coaching, mentoring and inspiring others truly distinguishes you. You enjoy problem-solving, seeking better solutions and supporting others in their growth and success. You work well across teams, build strong relationships and are comfortable leading change and promoting continuous improvement. You believe in empowering teams to take ownership and deliver excellent results.
You’ll be part of a supportive, down-to-earth team that values trust, respect and teamwork, where everyone backs each other, celebrates achievements and learns from challenges.

• 10+ years’ experience in quality assurance or related fields.
• 5+ years’ leadership experience, ideally in cross-functional delivery teams.
• Proven expertise in test automation frameworks and tools (open-source and codeless).
• Experience with performance testing and integrating validation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• A track record of delivering technology change in a product-led environment.
• Familiarity with Agile delivery and DevOps practices.
