• Ensuring impediments, debt and enablers are clearly communicated and understood by key stakeholders

What you’ll bring:

• ISTQB Foundation Level (CTFL) or Advanced Certifications
• Proven automation test experience, building test approaches for automation projects, definition and maintenance of regression testing and integration of test programmes into a CI/CD pipeline
• Excellent knowledge of development lifecycles
• Ability to lead and work in a team, as well as being self‑sufficient
• Working knowledge of testing within agile practices and principles
• Ability to coordinate solutions to complex technical problems
• Familiarity with insurance and insurance‑led products would be beneficial
• UiPath Certified Professional Software Testing Engineer Professional Certification desirable
• As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.
