• Lead and manage all testing phases including System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), Regression Testing, Performance Testing, and Go-Live readiness validation.
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks using Selenium and TOSCA, ensuring maximum test coverage and reusability across program cycles.

• Lead UAT exit approval processes, coordinating with business stakeholders to secure sign-offs and document test completion evidence for program governance.
• Drive continuous improvement in testing practices by introducing automation, optimizing test cycles, and reducing manual testing effort over time.
• Provide regular test status reporting to program leadership and key stakeholders, including metrics on test execution progress, defect trends, and risk indicators.
• Coach and mentor testing analysts and junior team members, fostering a quality-first culture across delivery teams.

What you will bring

• Leading quality assurance and testing workstreams for large-scale ERP, supply chain, or enterprise platform transformation programs in the CPG or FMCG industry.
• Hands-on expertise with test automation tools, specifically Selenium (for web-based UI automation) and TOSCA (Tricentis) for end-to-end test automation and continuous testing.
• Test management tools such as JIRA/Zephyr, ALM (HP Quality Center), Azure DevOps, or equivalent platforms for managing test cases, cycles, and defect tracking.
• Designing and executing SIT, UAT, regression, and performance testing strategies for complex, multi-system landscapes including ERP (SAP), planning platforms (o9, IBP), and integrated non-SAP applications.
• Stakeholder management - communicating testing status, risks, and quality outcomes clearly to both technical teams and senior business leadership across multiple regions and functions.
• Driving UAT processes including test scenario design with business users, defect triage sessions, exit criteria definition, and formal sign-off procedures.
• Agile and waterfall delivery methodologies, with the ability to adapt testing approaches to program context.
• Working in global, matrixed organizations with geographically distributed teams and multiple vendor partners.
• Risk-based testing approaches - identifying critical test scenarios and prioritizing coverage based on business impact.
• Building and maintaining reusable test asset libraries that accelerate future testing cycles and regression runs.
