QA Manager

Natural Cycles° is a leading women’s health company that developed the world’s first birth control app, used by millions globally. We are a fast growing startup, and we promote an international working environment filled with smart and ambitious colleagues based in Stockholm, Geneva, New York, and remotely. Our mission is to pioneer women’s health through research and passion, empowering every woman with the knowledge she needs to take charge of her health.

You are a QA Manager leading and developing QA within our Product Growth team. You own our QA strategy and how we approach quality across the full growth journey — from acquisition entry points through website, sign-up, payments, subscriptions, and in-app experiences. Your mission is to help Product Growth move faster while improving the quality of what we ship.

You look beyond individual features and releases to understand the end-to-end customer journey, focusing QA where it matters most — across experimentation, analytics and tracking, payments, and the different devices, browsers, and in-app browsers our users rely on. You lead and develop our QA team while continuously improving how we work. Through smarter testing strategies, automation, AI, and modern QA practices, you help reduce repetitive manual work, catch more meaningful issues, and enable faster development and release cycles.
