• Lead the transition of automation frameworks, test assets, and execution ownership from the strategic partner to the Testing CoE and internal teams for ongoing sustainment.
• Partner with warehouse automation and integration vendors (MHE/WCS/WES providers and system integrators) to plan and execute testing of automation components, validate system integrations, and ensure end-to-end warehouse workflow reliability.
• Collaborate with Product Owners and Functional Architects to ensure test scenarios reflect real-world supply chain workflows, including warehouse inbound, inventory, outbound, and DSCSA processes.
• Align with Release Manager(s) and the Cutover Lead to ensure testing supports release readiness, mock cutovers, critical workflow validation, and Go/No-Go decisions.
• Ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, defects, and execution results, and lead defect triage and resolution processes.
• Partner with ITSO Directors and operations teams to validate production readiness, monitoring, and post-go-live quality expectations.
