• Keep the wider team including the Product Owner, up to date with the test progress including any risk-based assessments undertaken and raise any issues when relevant.
• You'll be surrounded by some amazing people and working in one of the best cultures that you can find.

You'll also have the following:

• Excellent written and oral communication skills, strong problem-solving & collaborative skills
