Hi,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the QA Manager position. With over 14
years of leadership experience spanning QA architecture, project management, and
product ownership, I have dedicated my career to building scalable quality frameworks
that enhance engineering velocity and ensure the delivery of robust, high-impact software.
I am particularly drawn to this opportunity as my expertise in architecting QA functions
from scratch aligns perfectly with the needs of innovative and growing teams.
In my most recent role as Project Lead & QA Architect at Al Squared, I was tasked with
building the entire QA function from the ground up. I successfully architected a
comprehensive project quality framework, authored the company's first QA handbook, and
implemented processes that aligned engineering, product, and DevOps. By designing and
rolling out targeted UI and API automation, I was able to reduce manual QA effort by 40%,
directly contributing to a more stable and productive engineering environment.
My technical leadership is complemented by significant experience managing quality for
high-stakes, large-scale platforms. At Truecaller, I directed project quality for a $150M+
annual revenue AdTech platform serving over 1 billion daily impressions. Furthermore, my
hands-on experience as the Product Owner for the Fintech credit module—where I
managed the entire agile project lifecycle from sprint planning to backlog execution—has
given me a unique, business-centric perspective on product development and on-time
delivery.
As a PMP-certified Project Manager with an MBA in Business Analytics, I do not just test
features; I manage quality as a critical project component, mitigating risks and ensuring
that every release is strategically aligned with business goals. I am adept at stakeholder
management and thrive on leading cross-functional teams to turn a product vision into a
tangible, high-quality reality.
I am confident that my unique blend of strategic leadership, deep technical expertise, and
proven ability to deliver results can be a significant asset to your team. My interactive

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of discussing
how I can contribute to your success.
Sincerely,
Sangit Kumar M
