The Technical Test Manager SAP is responsible for owning validation across SAP implementation, rollout, migration, enhancement and transformation activities.

• Define and maintain a risk-based test approach across SAP implementation, rollout, migration, enhancement and transformation activities.
• Enforce entry and exit criteria, Definition of Ready / Done, and sign-off checkpoints with the stakeholders.

• Plan, schedule, and run test cycles across System Integration Testing (SIT), End-to-end Testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and Non-functional Testing.
• Coordinate process and system teams together with business SMEs for execution and formal sign-off.
• Create, update and execute manual and automated test cases.

• Lead defect management and triage, covering severity, ownership, SLA, root cause and retest.
• Drive cross-team resolution to closure and remove blockers impacting cycle progress.
• Enforce the test data strategy (synthetic versus masked production data, provisioning, refresh, privacy and compliance) and confirm data readiness per cycle.
• Integrate non-functional testing into the cycle plan: performance, security and authorisation, failover, batch and throughput, usability.
• Track test KPIs (coverage, pass rate, severity mix, MTTR, defect leakage) and enforce the reporting cadence towards PMO and sponsors.
• Align with Business Process Owners, Engineering Leadership and SI/partners on scope, readiness and sign-off.
• Surface quality risks with clear business impact and ensure the leadership has a transparent, decision-ready view of testing progress.
