Every day, prior authorizations delay prescriptions, pharmacists lose hours to paperwork instead of patients, and prescriptions slip through the cracks between health systems. We believe thoughtfully applied AI can finally change that - deep, integrated infrastructure that streamlines how care is coordinated, purpose-built for the complexity of specialty pharmacy.\nWe're building toward a world where pharmacy teams spend their time on patients, not paperwork - where AI handles the routine so clinicians can focus on what only humans can do. Getting there takes the right people. We're looking for curious, ambitious folks who want to help solve healthcare's hardest problems - for our patients, our partners, and each other.\nThe Role\nYou'd be joining alongside our QA Lead in the US, with real ownership of building this out properly in the UK: strategy, tooling, standards, process - all still very much taking shape. There's no hands-off management here - everybody, at every level, is hands-on, and that includes you.\nAnd because we're AI-native by design, testing here isn't testing conventional software. You'll own how we test AI-led products in the UK - agentic workflows, LLM-based features, non-deterministic behaviour that doesn't fit a traditional pass/fail script.\nWe've built an AI operating system for pharmacies, tackling the operational infrastructure behind things like paperwork and care coordination. It's in production with enterprise health systems across the US, and we're working directly with one of the biggest names in pharmacy.\nWhat you'll actually do\nBuild out the QA function (strategy, process, tooling, standards), working with our US QA Lead so both sides run as one team\n\nOwn how we test AI-led features: agentic workflows, LLM outputs and evaluation frameworks. You'll work out how to sign something off when it doesn't behave the same way twice\n\nWrite automation in Playwright and TypeScript, and do manual testing, regression and UAT yourself when a release needs it\n\nWork with Engineering and Product so quality is part of how things get built, not a gate at the end\n\nHelp hire and grow the QA team as we scale\n\nWho you are\nYou build things. You've grown a QA function from something small, or you've been itching to. A fully formed process to inherit isn't what gets you out of bed.\n\nYou actually use AI. It's part of your day-to-day already. You've tested AI-led products, or you can explain clearly why it's a different problem from testing normal software.\n\nYou do every part of the job. You're as happy writing a Playwright suite as running a UAT session. You don't think of any of it as beneath you.\n\nYour fundamentals are solid. Test strategy, defect management and release process are second nature, even when the thing you're testing is new.\n\nYou lead by doing. You'll grow into leading QA in the UK, but you'll still be hands-on the whole way.\n\nThe setup\nHybrid, Manchester city centre, 1-2 days a week in the office. When you're working out what \"correct\" even means for an AI system, a whiteboard and the right three people in a room beat a Slack thread every time.\nNot local? We offer relocation support for the right person. However, you must currently be UK-based.\nWe're Series A, there's early equity, and the work genuinely changes how people get their medication.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3504,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Pharmacies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T12:17:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":77,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.856,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":14,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/foundation-health-qa-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/foundation-health-qa-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T11:41:29Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9766,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673335},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673335"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffoundation-health-qa-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffoundation-health-qa-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffoundation-health-qa-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/foundation-health-qa-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffoundation-health-qa-lead"}]}
