QA Manager

Team: Development

Location: Stockholm, Malmö

Commitment: Permanent Employment

Workplace Type: hybrid

The Position

At Avalanche Studios Group, we are looking for a QA Manager to join our successful title theHunter: Call of the Wild. 

This isn't a role about running a test department. It's about evolving how we build confidence in what we ship. You'll be responsible for moving our quality systems from reactive to proactive, improving production observability, and making quality a shared capability across Engineering, Production, Design and LiveOps. If you're someone who thinks systemically, values learning over blame, and gets energized by meaningful organizational change — we'd love to hear from you.

Please note that this role is based in either our Malmö or Stockholm office three days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays).

What You'll Do

Drive continuous improvement across QA practices, workflows and collaboration models with the QA team — and bring the rest of the studio along for the ride.

Champion quality ownership across disciplines, reducing dependency on late discovery and reactive firefighting.

Improve operational visibility into quality risks, verification pressure and release readiness through better metrics, telemetry and reporting.

Identify systemic bottlenecks and recurring failure patterns and find the right solutions for it. 

Evaluate and modernize QA tooling, test infrastructure and verification workflows.

Build strong collaboration between embedded QA, operational QA functions and QA Partners.

Support, mentor and grow the people in your team — setting clear expectations, fostering psychological safety and encouraging continuous learning.

Own people management responsibilities including performance, goal-setting, career development and hiring

Who You Are

You think at the organizational level, not just within the walls of QA

You value observability and transparency over process for process's sake

You're comfortable in complex, adaptive environments where the answer isn't always obvious

You balance structure with the flexibility to iterate and improve

You understand that sustainable quality systems have to work for the humans inside them

You have a track record of improving how teams collaborate around quality, not just how QA teams operate
