This executive will define and scale quality strategies, practices, and frameworks across diverse engineering teams, products, and services.As a senior leader, you will own the QE strategy end-to-end: from defining our quality vision and KPIs to building automation-first solutions that integrate seamlessly with our CI/CD pipelines. You will foster a culture of “built-in quality,” ensuring our systems meet functional, non-functional, compliance, and privacy requirements at scale.

What You’ll Do

• Set the vision: Define and implement the company-wide quality engineering strategy, roadmap, and operating model.

• Lead teams: Build, mentor, and inspire a global QE organization spanning test automation, monitoring, and compliance.

• Drive automation: Architect and implement automated solutions for UI, APIs, data pipelines, stream processing, analytics, and performance/reliability testing.

• Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate with Product, Engineering, DevOps, and TechOps leaders to embed quality practices throughout the SDLC.

• Ensure compliance: Oversee quality frameworks that support privacy, security, accreditation (e.g., MRC, IAB), and global regulatory requirements.

• Measure impact: Define QA&C KPIs, dashboards, and tools to provide transparency on product quality and system health.

• Continuous improvement: Leverage customer feedback, defect data, and system monitoring to implement proactive detection and prevention frameworks.

• Scale processes: Introduce best practices for risk management, incident prevention, and compliance that extend beyond the QE team to the entire organization.

What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years of progressive experience in quality engineering or software quality leadership.

• 7+ years in senior leadership roles building and scaling QE teams (25–50+ people).

• Proven success in defining and executing QE strategy in large, matrixed tech organizations (AdTech or SaaS experience strongly preferred).

• Deep expertise in automated functional, non-functional, and monitoring solutions for data-intensive and customer-facing platforms.

• Familiarity with digital advertising standards (IAB, MRC) and accreditation processes is highly desirable.

• Experience with modern QE practices: CI/CD pipelines, shift-left testing, quality monitoring, DevOps/TechOps collaboration.

• Strong track record of managing offshore/outsourced teams and vendor partnerships.

• Exposure to frameworks such as CMMi, TMMi, Six Sigma, or ISO 9001 is a plus.

• Excellent communication, cross-functional collaboration, and executive presence.

Why Join Us

• Play a pivotal role in shaping the future of quality at scale in a global AdTech leader.

• Lead a high-impact organization driving product reliability, compliance, and customer trust.

• Collaborate with top engineering, product, and compliance leaders in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

The successful candidate’s starting salary will be determined based on a number of non-discriminating factors, including qualifications for the role, level, skills, experience, location, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at DV. The estimated salary range for this role based on the qualifications set forth in the job description is between $190,000.00 - $330,000.00. This role will also be eligible for bonus/commission (as applicable), equity, and benefits. The range above is for the expectations as laid out in the job description; however, we are often open to a wide variety of profiles, and recognize that the person we hire may be more or less experienced than this job description as posted.

Not-so-fun fact: Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of job criteria, women and other marginalized groups tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes but you’re not sure that you check every box, apply anyway!
