Reporting to the Head of Testing & Quality Assurance within the Change function, you will provide QA leadership across a portfolio of projects and change initiatives, owning the planning, coordination, governance and delivery of business-led testing – including UAT, Regression Testing and Pre- and Post-Deployment Verification Testing. A new QA Framework, and the tools that support it, is being built now. You will have a clear foundation to work from, and a real voice in how those standards and tools evolve over the next 12 months as the framework is embedded across the business.
This is a role for a self-starter. You will be trusted to own your deliverables across multiple projects at once, working independently within the framework, keeping stakeholders informed and knowing when to seek support or escalate. With further Test Lead appointments planned in the near future, this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing QA function at the very start.
Skills/Experience:
Essential
Proven experience in a Test Lead or Test Management role (minimum 2 years), within at least 5 years’ overall experience in software testing and/or UAT
Hands-on test execution experience from earlier in your career, giving you a practical understanding of why testing standards are needed and the ability to explain them to others
A track record of leading testing across multiple projects and change initiatives at the same time, covering test planning, execution management, resource planning and test readiness
Demonstrable experience of defining Test Strategies and determining test scope and coverage from requirements, business processes, acceptance criteria and risk
Experience of writing test scripts to defined standards, and of test data planning and preparation
Strong defect management experience, including triage, prioritisation, severity assessment, retesting, closure and escalation
Experience of Regression Testing, System Testing and System Integration Testing
Practical experience of Microsoft Azure DevOps, ideally including Azure DevOps Test Plans
Experience of producing test reports, dashboards, metrics and MI to support release decisions
Experience of Agile and Waterfall delivery, cross-functional project teams and defined governance and quality frameworks
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with technical and non-technical audiences
A self-starter who is highly organised, comfortable working autonomously and takes ownership, while knowing when to update others and seek support
Desirable
Experience within an FCA-regulated or similarly regulated environment
Experience of implementing, embedding or improving a QA or Test Framework or operating model
Experience of coaching and developing people with less formal testing experience
Experience of risk-based Pre- and Post-Deployment Verification Testing
Familiarity with test management and testing tools such as Jira, Zephyr, TestRail, Postman, BrowserStack or Visual Studio Code
ISTQB or BCS software testing certification (or equivalent)
An interest in emerging testing practices, including test automation and AI testing
Core Responsibilities:
Provide QA leadership across assigned projects and change initiatives, ensuring testing is planned, governed and delivered in line with the QA Framework
Help embed, maintain and continuously improve the newly established QA Framework and its processes, standards, templates, tooling and governance
Lead the planning, coordination and delivery of UAT, Regression Testing and Pre- and Post-Deployment Verification Testing as required for each project
Assess Business Tester resource requirements, work with business areas to secure testers, and make sure they have the knowledge, access, tools, test data and support they need
Own the production and quality of key test artefacts, including Test Strategies, test scope and traceability, Test Entry and Exit Reports, test scripts, burndown trackers, test evidence and defect records
Set up and maintain Test Plans in Azure DevOps and oversee test design and scripting to make sure scripts are consistent and detailed enough
Define and coordinate test data mining and preparation
Lead formal Test Entry and Test Exit assessments and quality-assure test execution, results and evidence
