IESE Innovation is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to driving innovation in the health & social care sector. Our mission is to deliver solutions that advance and improve the social care landscape, making a meaningful impact on the lives of those commissioning, providing, and receiving care. Our flagship product, CareCubed, is at the forefront of digital care pricing, offering a structured, person-centred approach to the negotiation of costs for specialist care placements. We are growing fast with the introduction of our new brokerage tool coming to market this year.
Our Culture
We pride ourselves on being dynamic, responsive, and having a close team that operates with a flat structure where everyone plays a part in our success. Team members should be comfortable putting ideas forward, suggesting improvements and working with a sensible level of autonomy. Effectively, a “high-trust, high-performance” culture is what we want, where flexibility, autonomy, and collaboration drive success in a fast-paced environment.
Role Purpose
We are looking for a hands-on Senior QA Engineer to improve and bring structure to testing across our growing suite of digital products.
