• Provide clear testing status reporting, including progress, risks, and quality metrics.
• Ensure testing standards, processes, and governance are consistently applied.
• Support release readiness by confirming test entry and exit criteria are met.
• Drive continuous improvement in testing practices, tools, and approaches.

What You’ll Need

• Proven experience as a Test Lead or Senior Test Manager within complex delivery environments.
• Strong experience planning and leading testing activities across multiple workstreams.
• Solid understanding of the software development and testing lifecycle.
• Experience working in Agile, hybrid, or waterfall delivery models.
• Strong defect management and test coordination experience.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Strong organisational skills with a proactive, detail‑oriented approach.
• Experience working in regulated or enterprise environments is highly desirable.
• Experience coordinating System Integration Testing (SIT) and supporting UAT is an advantage.
