About the Team

The Workday Test Centre of Excellence are driven by a passion for our products and the success of our customers in implementing our best in class cloud solutions. We’re a diverse group of people, with an invaluable mix of experience and backgrounds, located across multiple locations within the region.

About the Role

Our team promotes Workday’s core values with ‘Employees’ being the first of them. This is why we:

• offer flexible work schedules;

• encourage work-life balance and wellbeing;
• are proud to champion equal opportunities for everyone.

We are often remote from one another but that doesn’t stop our sense of collaboration, supportiveness and fun!

Test Lead Responsibilities

Implementing a new HCM, Payroll or Financials business application is a significant project for any company. At Workday, we realise that a comprehensive and effective testing program is as critical as configuring the application itself. Our Workday Test Lead will lead and assist our customers with this effort. We are looking for experienced Testing professionals to join the team.

The Workday Test Lead is a key member of engagement teams, who advises and guides customers through not only the development of a testing strategy and plan, but also conducting testing.

You’ll ensure the Workday solutions meet desired business requirements and can be used effectively in their targeted business environments by:

• Providing guidance to the Customer Test Lead on the development of testing strategies and planning
• Guiding the customer to define business processes and map test scenarios to business processes in preparation for testing.
• Working with the Customer Test Lead and the Customer Subject Matter Experts to ensure testing scenarios are created in accordance with project quality standards.
• Guiding the Customer Test Lead on the scheduling of testing activities, including coordination of rooms, equipment and testing resources.
• Serving as the overall Testing Manager responsible for testing administration, testing tools, testing preparation, status updates, and overall incident reporting.
• Working with the Customer Test Lead and the Customer Subject Matter Experts to ensure all test scenarios are executed and results documented in each cycle: unit testing, end-to-end testing, user acceptance testing, parallel testing, regression testing and performance testing.
• Preparing final reports after each test phase is completed – unit testing, end-to-end testing, user acceptance testing, parallel testing, regression testing and performance testing.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote 'home office' roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
