QA Engineering Manager
Product Development
Location: London office / Hybrid (2 days per week in the office)
Reporting to: QA Manager
The role
At Rightmove, we’re on a mission to make the move easier and simpler — giving everyone the best place to turn to and return to for the tools, expertise and trust to make it happen. Home movers across the UK spend over a billion minutes on Rightmove each month, and our website and apps receive more than 150 million visits every month.
As a QA Engineering Manager, you’ll help teams build quality in from the very start — not “test at the end”. QA at Rightmove is a mindset: we test throughout, prevent issues rather than detect them, and champion quality as a shared, whole‑team responsibility.
You’ll lead and support a group of QAs, strengthen our QA community of practice, and work closely with Engineering Managers, Product and Design to continually improve how we build and ship software. You’ll also partner with the QA Manager to shape and deliver our QA strategy and roadmap.
We welcome applications from experienced QA professionals who are looking to step into an Engineering Manager role for the first time — we’ll support you as you grow into leadership.
How we work
Product Development plays a pivotal role in delivering the consumer and customer digital experience at Rightmove. We work in autonomous, cross‑functional teams made up of product, design, engineering and QA, each owning a meaningful part of the Rightmove experience and working together towards our strategy.
We work in a hybrid way and focus on outcomes rather than hours. We trust people to find a working rhythm that suits them, their team and their life.
What success looks like in this role (first 6–12 months)
You don’t need to do everything on day one. Success in this role typically looks like:
A typical week
No two weeks are the same, but you’ll usually balance:
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a leader who helps others do their best work and raises quality outcomes by influencing how teams build and ship software. You don’t need to meet every point below — if you recognise yourself in several of these areas, we’d love to hear from you.
People leadership and coaching
Quality leadership (quality as a mindset)
Collaboration, influence and improvement
What we care about most
We care much more about the person you are, how you think and how you approach problems than a list of qualifications or buzzwords on a CV. If you don’t tick every box above but are thoughtful, motivated and passionate about delivering a great user experience, we’d really encourage you to apply.
We also know that people from underrepresented backgrounds don’t always apply unless they meet every requirement. If this role excites you but you’re unsure whether you meet everything listed, we’d still love to hear from you.
Our Approach to AI
At Rightmove, we believe software and product are ultimately people problems, and everything we build aims to improve the lives of others. We see AI as a helpful way to create more space for the human side of our work, from understanding real needs to making sure we are solving the right problems in the right way. There is an expectation that you are proactive in exploring how AI can support your own workflow and productivity, and that you approach it with curiosity and an open mind.
Our vision is to give everyone the belief that they can make their move. We aim to make moving simpler by giving everyone the best place to turn to and return to for access to the tools, expertise, trust and belief to make it happen.
We're home to the UK's largest choice of properties, and are the go-to destination for millions of people planning their next move, reading the latest industry news, or just browsing what's on the market.
Despite this growth, we’ve remained a friendly, supportive place to work, with employee #1 still working here! We’ve done this by placing the Rightmove Hows at the heart of everything we do. These are the essential values that reflect our culture, and include:
We believe in careers that open doors and help our team develop by providing an open and inclusive work environment, offering ongoing training opportunities, and supporting charity fundraising events. And with 88% of Rightmovers saying we’re a great place to work, we’re clearly doing something right!
If all of this has caught your eye, you may well be a Rightmover in the making......
