Job description

Our client, is seeking an experienced, delivery-focused Delivery Manager / Test Manager to join their specialized technology hub on a long-term contract. In this dual-impact role, you will bridge the gap between operational delivery management and technical QA governance.

• Quality Assurance Standards: Establish and enforce unified test governance, test planning, and compliance structures, ensuring all test evidence and formal sign‑offs meet strict internal and external audit requirements.
• System Entry/Exit Gatekeeping: Enforce strict entry/exit criteria and testing baseline standards across multiple interdependent technology systems.
• Hands‑On Automation Strategy: Design, build, and maintain robust test automation frameworks. Coordinate and execute automated test suites across applicable test cycles (Smoke, SIT, Regression, etc.).
• Ecosystem Test Coordination: Coordinate comprehensive end‑to‑end (E2E) testing across complex platforms, including core systems, transactional workflows, and third‑party vendor applications.
• Dependency & Release Management: Actively align test cycles (Feature, SIT, UAT, Regression, Production Validation) with wider corporate release schedules and change management protocols.
• Strategic Communication & Triage: Act as the central point of contact between testers, developers, business leads, and IT executives. Facilitate defect triage sessions, resolve team escalations, and guide go/no‑go readiness decisions.
