• Define and implement best‑practice test governance, frameworks, and quality assurance processes.
• Collaborate closely with programme management, engineering, and cloud migration teams to align testing with delivery milestones.
• Identify and manage testing risks, dependencies, and environments, ensuring readiness across all phases.
