• Maintain and track RAID (risks, actions, issues, decisions) and manage items through closure.
• Coordinate across internal teams, business SMEs, vendors, and integration partners.
• Facilitate project meetings, issue triage, and decision-making sessions.
• Ensure alignment with regulatory, security, and compliance requirements as applicable.
• Define and manage the overall testing strategy across functional, integration, regression, and UAT phases.
• Oversee creation and approval of test plans, test cases, and execution schedules developed by the third-party testing provider.
• Manage vendor-based testing activities and provide governance and direction — without performing hands-on testing.
• Coordinate test environment readiness, data preparation, and deployment windows.
• Track and report test progress, metrics, and defect lifecycle through resolution.
• Support business readiness, UAT coordination, and post-go-live validation.
• Ensure alignment between testing outcomes, project milestones, and release objectives.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years of experience managing IT/OT implementation projects, with at least 3 years in a Project Management or Test Management capacity.
• High level of attention to detail, organization, process documentation.
• Experience managing delivery or testing of grid systems or operational technology platforms (e.g., ADMS, DMS, EMS, OMS, GIS, historian, or related utility applications).
• Strong understanding of SDLC, QA methodologies, and project management practices (Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid).
• Experience managing vendor-based or third-party testing programs.
• Proficiency with test and project management tools (e.g., HP ALM, JIRA, Zephyr, qTest, Grip).
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
