Job description

About our client:

Our client is a global investment advisory firm focusing on long-term value creation through investment strategies. They work with a diverse group of institutional partners and pride themselves on their collaborative, sustainable, inclusive culture and performance.



What you will be doing:

  • Developing and maintaining detailed test artifacts (plans, scenarios, and scripts) for each target application, including negative test cases and bespoke deprovisioning logic.
  • Coordinating and executing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) across the application landscape, enabling multiple test cycles to run in parallel. Clarify capacity expectations for concurrent execution where feasible.
  • Validating end-to-end user-access workflows, covering requests, approvals, email notifications, and attestations.
  • Verifying application-specific deprovisioning logic to ensure correct revocation behavior (e.g., Coupa bespoke removal rules).
  • Ensuring comprehensive coverage for employee, non-employee, and service accounts, including technical/service identities.
  • Managing the defect lifecycle, encompassing triage, root-cause analysis, prioritization, retesting, and formal sign-off.
  • Producing and maintaining test documentation, metrics, and exit reports for audit and regulatory purposes.
  • Collaborating with program leadership to sequence releases (database-first vs. application-level) and support go-live readiness.



What our client is looking for:

  • A relevant tertiary qualification would be ideal (Information Technology, Computer Science, etc.)
  • ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst or Test Manager would be beneficial.
  • 5+ years of software testing experience.
  • Proven expertise in testing enterprise integration projects.
  • In-depth knowledge of user provisioning/deprovisioning, RBAC, attestations, and segregation-of-duties principles.
  • Hands-on experience testing integrations via API, CSV, SQL-view, and PowerShell.
  • Advanced SQL and data-analysis skills for validation and troubleshooting.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and stakeholder engagement skills across both business and technical teams.



Contract Duration:

  • 2 Months
