• 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.
