Overview

Computer Futures are supporting a key customer to bolster their rollout of a complex incentive management system that seeks to optimise their sales and finance operations across multiple European offices. We are seeking a proactive and hands‑on Test Lead to ensure readiness for go‑live by coordinating with business and project stakeholders, leading on testing strategy, communications and plan, and supporting hands‑on with local offices.

The system is designed of two main components, data management and incentive management. As a system that supports commercial enterprise, it is comprised of complex calculations, data extractions and transfers by APIs. The rollout is European wide and strives for standardisation, although there will be nuance to each region. The requirement here is for the successful consultant to support the testing of data solutions rather than interfaces.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the full testing lifecycle from scope definition to execution.
• Develop and execute test plans, test scripts, and test scenarios across modular, composable architectures.
• Coordinate UAT and training activities across European offices.
• Engage with project and business teams to align testing with operational needs.
• Review legacy and new systems to ensure seamless transition.
• Facilitate meetings with senior stakeholders.
• Support defect management in collaboration with third party suppliers.

Experience & Skills

• Strong grasp of complex systems and ability to quickly absorb new information.
• Experience in manual and automated test environments.
• Comfortable working across multiple European locations and cultures.
• Familiarity with SAP, Snowflake, and modular architecture templates.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Calm under pressure, diligent, and collaborative.
