• You need to have attention to detail and coordinate with Test Factory and external partners.
• Have team player attitude and hunger to develop new professional skills combined with proactive, development-minded, and goal-focused attitude to work
• Excellent documentation, visualization and presentation skills
• Have experience working with System Integrator and Business Integrator, 3rd parties

Responsibilities

• Live and exemplify the Five Principles of Mars, Inc. within self and team.
• Strategic Leadership & Governance: Define, develop, and own the enterprise-wide performance testing strategy aligned with the SAP S/4HANA transformation roadmap and satellite system integrations.

Ensure performance testing objectives align with business priorities, compliance requirements, and overall quality goals. Lead cross-functional collaboration to integrate performance testing seamlessly into the development lifecycle and continuous delivery pipelines.
• Reporting & Analysis: Prepare and present test reports and analysis to stakeholders, providing insights into the quality of the SAP Landscape. Ensure integration of performance testing tools and results into Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (Deployment) pipelines and reporting frameworks.
