This is a senior delivery and change-leadership role. It combines programme governance, stakeholder management, test-management expertise and sufficient technical depth to challenge delivery teams and guide pragmatic implementation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the enterprise-wide rollout of the Test Management Process, including planning, governance, milestones, risks, dependencies, and adoption across teams.
• Translate the Test Management Process, standards, and strategy into practical implementation plans covering testing, environments, test data, reporting, evidence management, and quality controls.
• Drive implementation activities, capture lessons learned, and establish a repeatable rollout model for product and platform teams.
• Coordinate stakeholders across Engineering, Architecture, Security, Risk, Compliance, and Leadership, ensuring effective governance and decision-making.
• Drive adoption of standardized test management practices, automation tooling, reusable frameworks, and CI/CD quality gates.
• Integrate AI-assisted testing into the process, including test design, test generation, exploratory testing, defect analysis, and reporting.
• Define management dashboards and reporting for progress, adoption, quality, risks, benefits, and delivery status.
• Deliver communications, training, coaching, documentation, and community activities, including leadership of the Test Circle.
• Embed ownership, controls, support, and continuous improvement into business-as-usual operations.

AI-Enabled Test Management Focus

• Identify and prioritize high-value AI use cases across the testing lifecycle.
• Define measurable success criteria and track AI-driven improvements while maintaining quality and control.
• Promote responsible AI adoption and compliance with security, privacy, and governance requirements.
• Establish reusable AI practices, generated test assets, and knowledge-sharing mechanisms across teams.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate AI-assisted testing into GitLab workflows and standardized CI/CD pipelines.

Requirements

Experience

• Proven success leading enterprise or multi-team test transformation, quality engineering, technology change, or process roll-out programmes.
• Strong knowledge of test management, strategy, automation, environments, test data, defect management, quality gates, and evidence-based assurance.
• Experience in Agile and DevOps environments with CI/CD pipelines; GitLab experience is preferred.
• Practical knowledge of AI-assisted software engineering or testing, including benefits, limitations, evaluation, and responsible-use controls.
• Experience introducing processes and tools across autonomous teams in complex, regulated, international organisations.
• Ability to define measurable outcomes and translate delivery data into concise executive reporting.
• Experience with cloud and modern engineering platforms; AWS and OpenShift exposure is beneficial.
• Financial services, clearing, or other regulated-industry experience is preferred.

Profile

• Senior, outcome-oriented project leader who creates clarity and takes ownership in complex environments.
• Credible with engineers and effective with senior stakeholders, risk functions, and business representatives.
• Strong facilitation, negotiation, communication, and change-management skills across cultures and regions.
• Analytical and pragmatic, balancing speed, quality, control, and sustainable adoption.
• Comfortable challenging assumptions, resolving dependencies, and making risks transparent.
• Curious about AI and emerging testing practices, with sound judgement and human accountability.
• Relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree; project, programme, Agile, or testing certification is beneficial
