Quality Assurance Manager
We’re hiring a Quality Assurance (QA) Manager to join our Product Development team at PatronManager, a CRM system that combines box office ticketing, fundraising, marketing, and staff collaboration, built entirely on the cloud-based Salesforce platform. At PatronManager, our clients are predominantly arts and cultural organizations (theatres, orchestras, dance companies, and museums) that use PatronManager to run their business. We believe in providing our customers with high-quality technology, as well as the knowledge and expertise to use it to make their organizations successful.
This role requires expertise in building applications on Salesforce or the Force.com platform, and a strong grasp of Salesforce development practices.
Our clients are passionate about their work, and we share their love of and belief in the power of the arts. If you are a talented and experienced QA Manager with Salesforce experience and a strong interest in the arts, we want to work with you!
This role reports to the Director of Product Development.
In this role, you’ll:
- Spearhead the strategic test planning process, documentation, and the execution of that plan to meet deadlines and drive efficiency. This includes writing and overseeing the execution of tests (manual and/or automated), monitoring testing progress, reporting status, defects and retesting outcomes, tracking defect fixes and new features, and signing off on code quality.
- Build a suite of automated regression tests using tooling appropriate for the Salesforce platform. Tooling selection will be at your recommendation and prior experience.
- Manage a small team of QA testers.
- Interface closely with the product and engineering teams on the product roadmap, the design of our new features and functionality, and the release schedule.
- Participate in release planning and discovery sessions to gather and validate requirements for testing.
- Maintain strong relationships with colleagues in other departments, specifically Engineering and Client Administration (Support).
- Work as a key member of our team to craft a spirit and culture of efficiency and accountability, to our internal teams and to our customers.

- Testing expertise: A solid understanding of software testing process and methodology, from Unit Testing through User Acceptance to include: Functional, System, Integration, Regression, and load/performance testing.
- Arts enthusiasm: You’ll love working here if you have an interest in the arts, whether it be personal or professional.
- Collaborative projects: You’re used to working with multiple and varied teams, taking stock of the needs and wants of stakeholders all while having an eye toward new ideas that expand the concept of what’s possible even while operating within technical boundaries.
- A mix of enterprise and consumer experience: We create a B2B product that has both a B2B and a B2C purpose. Our system enables employees at arts organizations to manage their own work and it has certain features and functionality that are public-facing. For this reason, if you’ve worked at companies or worked on design projects that are in both the B2B and B2C realms, you’ll better understand the design needs of these different but related audiences.
- Technical proficiency and tools: We use Jira for issue tracking and are migrating to managing test suites using the Zephyr add-on for Jira. A proficiency with relational data and loading and extracting data from the Salesforce platform is strongly recommended. Work has been started on creating a suite of automated regression tests using WebDriver.
- Customer-centric mindset: Because we are passionate about helping our clients be financially sustainable, you should be able to craft the testing plan and prioritize the testing in way that balances benefit and risk with our customer’s needs in mind.
- Ability to manage multiple projects: Because our company is in a growth phase, and will be for the foreseeable future, we have multiple projects running at the same time that have varying testing timelines and needs.
- Communication: Strong analytical, verbal, and written skills.
- Flexibility: There may be an occasional need to work outside of business hours if a release schedule requires it.
- Non-profit and / or arts management software experience: You’ve worked at a company that builds box office ticketing systems, fundraising platforms, marketing systems, or other databases or software that our clients are likely to have used.
