Title: Senior Test Manager
Location: London - Hybrid
Type: Full-time - Permanent
Salary: Six-figure salary + benefits
The headlines:
A high-growth consultancy is seeking an experienced Senior Test Manager to lead strategy across complex, distributed systems in a regulated industry setting.
This is a strategic test leadership role supporting large-scale transformation programmes, involving integration-heavy platforms, data pipelines, and compliance-driven technology estates. The successful candidate will guide distributed QA teams, shape automation-led strategies, and ensure test coverage aligns with regulatory expectations, system design, and user confidence.
You’ll be the kind of person who doesn’t just “own the test plan” you’ll understand the entire E2E system at both the low-level detail and how the whole solution fits together, whilst knowing how to test it. You’ll be given an abundance of freedom to make this role truly yours, with minimal restrictions and an exciting roadmap ahead.
You’ll Thrive Here If You:
* Have lead test programmes across complex, regulated systems
* Think like an architect, but act like a delivery leader
* Are confident guiding teams in automation-first environments (CI/CD, shift-left approaches)
* Have worked on integration-heavy platforms (e.g. trade lifecycle systems, financial risk engines, or large-scale operational platforms)
* Have a history of creating clarity in ambiguous or complex delivery landscapes
* Can mentor, train and inspire Test Automation Engineers of varying levels of seniority
What You’ll Be Doing
* Own the test strategy across multiple workstreams
* Lead test planning, automation direction, and risk-based testing approaches
* Ensure traceability across functional, integration, and non-functional testing
* Act as a QA advisor to client stakeholders and internal delivery leads
* Contribute to quality culture: hiring, coaching, defining best practices
