📍 Location: London (Hybrid – 1–2 days onsite per week)
🏢 Company: Fast-growing Microsoft Partner
💼 Employment Type: Permanent | Full-time
About Us
We're a small but mighty Microsoft Partner that punches well above our weight. Our clients range from mid-market heroes to enterprise titans, and we deliver end-to-end solutions that make real impact. We’re growing fast and need a Test Manager who’s equal parts strategic and hands-on – someone who can own our testing capability across both manual and automation.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Define and own the test strategy across multiple projects, balancing manual and automation testing methods.
* Lead, mentor, and grow a lean but high-performing QA team.
* Implement and champion modern test tools (think Selenium, Cypress, Postman, Azure DevOps, etc.)
* Work closely with devs, BAs, PMs, and clients to ensure quality from day one.
* Manage UAT with clients – particularly important when dealing with complex enterprise ecosystems.
* Contribute to project planning, risk assessments, and delivery timelines.
* Maintain a laser focus on quality, without becoming a bottleneck to agile delivery.
What We’re Looking For
✅ Proven experience in a Test Manager or Senior Test Lead role
✅ Solid background working with major systems integrators (e.g. Atos, DXC, Capgemini)
✅ Strong hybrid of manual and automation testing – you know when to script and when to just explore
✅ Hands-on knowledge of modern tools – Selenium, Cypress, Azure DevOps, Jira, Postman, etc.
✅ Enterprise-scale testing experience – complex systems, data-heavy platforms, integrations galore
✅ Outstanding stakeholder management and communication skills
✅ Comfortable working onsite in London 1–2 days per week
Nice to Have
* ISTQB or similar certification
* Microsoft platform experience (Dynamics 365, Azure, Power Platform)
* Experience in regulated industries (e.g. finance, healthcare, government)
What You’ll Get
* Competitive base salary
* Flexible hybrid working (but we're serious about those London days)
* Chance to shape testing from the ground up in a high-growth business
