Are you an Environments Manager with a strong background in ensuring the successful provision of Test Environments in large scale, complex environments? If so, apply now for this new contract based in Central London.

Running until the end of the financial year initially, this is a 3 year programme and so will be a long term engagement for the successful Test Environments Manager. The base location is central London and will require you to be onsite for 3 days per week.

Our client is an instantly recognisable household brand that is undergoing a large scale modernisation programme. This touches all corners of their business and a huge range of key systems projects across central functions, including SAP projects.

We are currently seeking an experienced and highly organised Test Environments Manager to oversee and coordinate all aspects of testing environments within our Central Functions Portfolio.

As a Test Environments Manager, you will be responsible for the end-to-end management of all test environments, ensuring they are fully aligned with the needs of the programme and supporting projects. You'll work closely with both internal teams and external suppliers to ensure environment availability, configuration, connectivity, and test data readiness.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the planning, coordination, and delivery of all required testing environments.
• Act as the primary point of contact for all environment-related activities, issues, and escalations.
• Ensure timely triage, management, and resolution of environment defects, keeping all stakeholders informed.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers to ensure delivery governance and technical requirements are met.
• Identify and assess environment needs, manage bookings, configurations, test data requirements, and track availability across projects.
• Maintain and communicate a detailed environments plan aligned to the test lifecycle and timelines.
• Proactively coordinate competing demands to ensure the programme's requirements are consistently prioritised and fulfilled.
• Produce and own environment reporting, documentation, and standard operating procedures.
• Be an active and proactive member of the project team, escalating issues where needed and seeking support from the Portfolio Test Manager when appropriate.

This is an exceptional opportunity to work with a globally recognised brand at an unprecedented period of transformation and modernisation.

If you have the skills and experience to be successful in the role, please apply and I will contact you to discuss it in more depth.

The rate is £467 inside IR35 and the expected start date is early-mid-November.
