Job Description
Oracle ERP Test Manager
Lead Testing Excellence Across Enterprise ERP Programmes
Are you an experienced Test Manager with a passion for quality, delivery, and continuous improvement? At Version 1, we’re transforming how organisations operate through Oracle Cloud—and we’re looking for a leader to drive testing across complex, enterprise‑scale ERP programmes.
While Oracle ERP Cloud experience is highly desirable, we are equally open to candidates with strong Test Management expertise gained across other Tier 1 ERP platforms (such as SAP, Workday, or Microsoft Dynamics), particularly within Finance and Payroll domains.
The Opportunity
As a Test Manager, you will:
* Own and lead the full testing lifecycle—from strategy and planning through to execution and reporting
* Deliver testing across ERP implementations and upgrades, with a strong focus on integrated Finance and Payroll solutions
* Work across Oracle Cloud programmes while applying transferable best practices from other Tier 1 ERP environments
* Lead hybrid teams of consultants, client stakeholders, and third‑party partners
* Drive quality, governance, and continuous improvement across delivery
Key Responsibilities
You will:
* Define and deliver test strategies, plans, and schedules aligned to programme timelines
* Manage end‑to‑end test execution, including SIT and UAT phases
* Oversee defect management, including triage and resolution coordination
* Lead testing across integrated ERP systems, ensuring upstream and downstream alignment
* Review all key test artefacts (scripts, logs, defects, and test summary reports)
* Coach teams on test design and scripting best practices
* Promote adoption of test automation approaches where appropriate
* Manage stakeholder engagement, including client communication, risks, and mitigation plans
* Ensure delivery aligns with Version 1 methodologies, standards, and governance
Additional Responsibilities
* Support and develop team capability through coaching and mentoring
* Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of ERP platforms and testing tools
* Track delivery performance against KPIs and quality metrics
* Contribute to high levels of customer satisfaction
* Ensure all delivery aligns with recognised project methodologies
Qualifications
You will have:
* Proven experience as a Test Manager within enterprise ERP programmes
* Strong preference for Oracle ERP Cloud, including implementation or upgrade experience
* Alternatively, deep experience with other Tier 1 ERP platforms (e.g. SAP, Workday, Microsoft Dynamics), particularly across Finance and Payroll processes
* Experience delivering at least one full end‑to‑end ERP implementation lifecycle
* Strong expertise in test management, defect management, and governance frameworks
* Ability to manage complex, integrated system landscapes
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
* Strong analytical and problem‑solving capability
* Organised, methodical, and detail‑oriented approach
* Experience working in fast‑paced, delivery‑focused environments
* Exposure to test automation tools and frameworks is advantageous
