The assignment takes place within a large international public-sector environment responsible for delivering high-quality digital information services to a wide range of stakeholders, including institutions, public administrations, organisations, researchers, businesses, and the general public.

The organisation designs, builds, and operates web-based data dissemination platforms and interactive digital solutions that support data exploration, statistical analysis, and public communication. These platforms form a core part of its digital transformation strategy and require high standards of reliability, usability, and accessibility.

Within this context, the Quality Assurance Manager supports web dissemination and data-exploration platforms by ensuring that interactive publications, dashboards, and data visualisation tools comply with accessibility standards and function reliably. The work focuses on accessibility testing (WCAG compliance), systematic testing of interactive visualisations, and the gradual introduction of automated testing routines to improve quality and robustness.

The scope of the assignment may evolve over time depending on portfolio, project, or service needs.

Self-service web tools allow non-technical users to create interactive charts by configuring input data, selecting chart types, and customising visual output. New versions introduce additional chart types and advanced interactions.

The Quality Assurance Manager is expected to:

• Prepare and execute detailed test plans for new features and chart types
• Test interactions such as filtering, range selection, tooltips, hover behaviour, and legends
• Verify consistency between visual outputs and underlying datasets
• Test edge cases (empty selections, invalid values, extreme ranges)
• Participate in sprint reviews and contribute to technical specifications when needed

Dashboards are used to:

• Present indicators and statistical data to a broad audience in a clear and understandable way
• Reduce time-to-delivery for creating or updating dashboards related to policy indicators

Web-based visualisations and publications include:

• Interactive publications combining text, data visualisations, static infographics, and multimedia
• Interactive tools using structured data services and JavaScript libraries (e.g. d3, c3, leaflet, billboard)
• Indicator widgets displayed on websites and shared with partner organisations

The organisation is looking for a Quality Assurance Manager to ensure that interactive charts, data visualisation tools, and their underlying web components comply with accessibility standards and function reliably.

The role requires strong attention to detail, the ability to follow style guides and guidelines, and close collaboration with developers, designers, analysts, and accessibility experts.

All tasks are performed fully remotely in line with the approved remote-working framework.

Previous experience in web accessibility and user experience is considered a strong advantage.

• Perform accessibility evaluations of interactive charts, dashboards, filters, components, and navigation elements in accordance with WCAG 2.1 AA and internal guidelines
• Use accessibility testing tools (e.g. axe, WAVE, Lighthouse, screen readers such as NVDA)
• Document findings and collaborate remotely with analysts and developers to implement improvements
• Contribute to accessibility checklists and internal best-practice guidelines

• Prepare and execute test plans covering filtering, range selection, tooltips, hover behaviour, and legend interactions
• Verify consistency between visual outputs and underlying datasets
• Test edge cases and error scenarios
• Validate integration between charts, navigation elements, and data tables
• Report defects, follow up on fixes, and perform retesting
• Ensure components work without regressions across updates

• Support the design and implementation of automated test routines (e.g. Playwright)
• Develop automated checks for critical user paths, DOM structure, and accessibility assertions
• Maintain automated test scripts in collaboration with developers

• Produce structured test reports, accessibility summaries, and test-case documentation
• Maintain clear, versioned documentation in Confluence
• Record defects with reproducible steps, screenshots, and expected vs observed behaviour in Jira

• Work closely with accessibility experts to prepare and maintain accessibility-focused test plans
• Collaborate remotely with developers, UX/UI designers, and business analysts
• Participate in user acceptance testing (UAT) sessions

Minimum education (Bachelor’s degree or at least three years of higher education).

• Strong knowledge of digital accessibility principles and WCAG 2.1 AA
• Experience with accessibility testing tools and screen readers (NVDA)
• Solid understanding of software testing fundamentals
• Ability to work with structured datasets (CSV, Excel, JSON)
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium)
• Good knowledge of HTML5 and CSS; basic scripting skills (JavaScript or Python)
• Understanding of Git version control
• Familiarity with interactive chart libraries (e.g. Highcharts)
• Experience with Atlassian tools (Confluence, Jira)
• Familiarity with browser developer tools

• Excellent attention to detail and methodical working approach
• Ability to work autonomously, efficiently, and at pace
• Strong communication and teamwork skills in distributed teams
• Ability to apply high quality standards and follow style guides
• Clear and concise documentation skills
• Analytical mindset and curiosity to investigate unexpected behaviours
• Comfortable working fully remotely using digital collaboration tools

• Very good command of English (C1/C2)
• Knowledge of French (B1/B2) is an advantage
