As a Test Lead, you’ll be responsible for providing a robust testing framework that ensures the quality of project deliverables.

This role will primarily focus on leading and supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with some involvement in System Integration Testing (SIT).

• UAT Leadership: Work closely with business stakeholders to coordinate and lead UAT phases, ensuring test scenarios reflect user requirements.
• Data and Report Testing: Design and execute test scenarios that validate data accuracy, completeness, and consistency in reporting platforms.
• Assurance Processes: Oversee the sign-off process for testing programmes valued over £5 million, ensuring all deliverables meet the required standards.
• Tool Selection: Identify and implement the right testing tools to align with project needs.
• Leadership: Guide and mentor testing teams, ensuring best practices are followed and quality is consistently delivered.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure testing aligns with business goals.

Key Skills & Experience:

• 10+ years of testing experience, including extensive involvement in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and some exposure to System Integration Testing (SIT).
• Strong experience testing in environments involving Oracle and Big Query.
• Hands-on experience with testing reports and user interface (UI) components.
• Experience with testing programmes of work valued over £5 million.

• Experience selecting and implementing testing tools to meet project needs.

Bonus Points for:

• Exceptional problem-solving and communication skills.
• Previous experience in enterprise-level environments.
