TBA Group develops market-leading, large-scale software solutions for the global distribution and supply chain sector. As we continue our ambitious growth over the next five years, we are looking to strengthen our QA capability with the addition of a QA Analyst to our Doncaster team.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring product quality, working closely with Development and Delivery teams, and helping shape QA practices.
We offer hybrid working, but you will be expected to attend the Doncaster office at least twice per week.

* Validate bug fixes and ensure high-quality releases through thorough regression coverage
* Contribute to improving QA processes, standards, and documentation
* Support and gradually contribute to test automation efforts, particularly with Playwright where applicable
* Collaborate and Support other QA team members where needed
QualificationsRequired Skills & Experience
* 3+ years of experience in software quality assurance, with a strong focus on manual testing
* Solid understanding of QA principles, methodologies, and testing types
* Proven ability to independently plan and execute testing activities for features or releases
* Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
* Strong experience writing clear, structured test cases and detailed bug reports
* Familiarity with defect tracking and test management tools (e.g., DevOps, Jira)
* Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
* Good communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
Desirable Skills
