Do you want the autonomy to set up an internal test function from scratch?
Our client is undergoing a transformation programme, now looking to hire their first Test Manager. This role is a key, business-critical role with strong backing from senior leadership.
This is a greenfield opportunity to build and shape a testing function from the ground up. You'll take ownership of introducing structure, governance, and best practice, ensuring testing is properly embedded across the full delivery lifecycle.
You'll be responsible for establishing a formal testing capability in an environment where testing has historically been informal and inconsistent. Working across ERP transformation, web development, and third-party system implementations, you'll play a key role in improving quality and reducing risk across all change.
What You'll Be Doing
* Build and implement the organisation's testing function from scratch
* Define testing frameworks, processes, and governance
* Embed testing across end-to-end delivery cycles
* Introduce reporting and metrics to improve release quality
* Coordinate UAT with business stakeholders
* Work closely with development teams while maintaining QA oversight
* Shape the approach to manual vs automation testing
* Support and guide additional testing resource where needed
What We're Looking For
* Experience setting up or improving a testing function, working independently or within a small team
* Solid understanding of the full test lifecycle and risk-based testing
* Experience in complex environments with integrations across multiple systems
* Knowledge of test automation approaches
* Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to drive change
