The assignment covers functional, process, integration, end-to-end, System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), data quality, performance, and AI-related testing.

The Test Lead will establish the overall testing approach, ensure alignment among business requirements, technical specifications, and test coverage, and coordinate activities across business stakeholders, IT, development teams, and external implementation partners. The project follows an Agile, AI-first delivery model and requires a structured yet adaptable approach to quality assurance.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish, maintain, and govern the overall test strategy and supporting test plans.
• Define test scope, approach, resource needs, timelines, dependencies, and entry and exit criteria.
• Lead and coordinate functional, process, integration, end-to-end, SIT, UAT, data quality, performance, and AI-related testing.
• Ensure traceability and alignment among business requirements, technical specifications, test cases, and test coverage.
• Manage test execution and monitor progress against project objectives and defined quality requirements.
• Establish and operate a structured defect management process covering defect logging, prioritization, triage, resolution, retesting, and verification.
• Coordinate defect handling across business, IT, development teams, and external implementation partners.
• Track and communicate test progress, coverage, quality metrics, risks, dependencies, unresolved defects, and recommendations to relevant stakeholders.
• Lead and support testing teams across the implementation programme, potentially spanning multiple markets or international environments.
• Identify opportunities to improve testing efficiency through automation and automated regression testing.
• Assess test results, outstanding defects, and associated risks to support release readiness and go-live decisions.
• Support cutover planning and rehearsals, go-live preparation, Hypercare, operational stabilization, and handover to operational teams.

• Testing disciplines: Functional testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, SIT, UAT, data quality testing, performance testing, and AI-related testing.
• Test governance: Test strategy, test planning, requirements traceability, coverage analysis, quality metrics, risk management, and entry and exit criteria.
• Defect management: Structured logging, triage, prioritization, resolution coordination, retesting, and verification across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Automation: Experience with test automation frameworks and automated regression testing is advantageous.
• Delivery model: Experience working within Agile environments; exposure to AI-first delivery approaches is beneficial.

This includes developing and maintaining test strategies and plans, managing test scope and execution, coordinating resources and timelines, and overseeing functional, integration, end-to-end, SIT, and UAT activities.

Strong experience establishing defect management processes and coordinating defect triage, prioritization, resolution, and verification is required.
