Overview

You will take ownership of the overall testing strategy and delivery, ensuring that the testing function is fully established and that all testing activities are coordinated effectively through to a successful go-live.

• You need to have extensive experience with non-functional and performance testing
• Strong experience leading testing functions within large-scale transformation programmes.
• Proven experience developing and implementing Test Strategies.
• Experience managing testing through to go-live.
• Strong understanding of testing governance, risk and assurance.
• Experience working within complex technology and data environments.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Experience with Jira or similar tools.
• A pragmatic, delivery-focused approach with the ability to provide appropriate challenge and assurance.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including at programme and senior management level.
