  • Collaborate with Product Managers, developers, business analysts, and design teams to understand requirements, aligning test strategies accordingly.
  • Manage and utilize existing automated testing assets to enhance efficiency and avoid redundant work, leveraging tools across various coding languages.
  • Provide hands-on support for troubleshooting and implementing test frameworks, promoting testing best practices within a geographically dispersed team.
  • Own Test Delivery Assurance, ensuring it aligns with organizational standards, tools, and frameworks.
  • Plan and strategize testing phases, including scope, resource allocation, release, and sprint planning, to achieve quality and timely deliverables.
  • Proactively address and mitigate risks, maintaining an organized and structured approach in an ambiguous environment.
  • Coach team members to strengthen their understanding of test strategy, promoting skills development in automated and manual testing.
  • Identify and implement process improvements for enhanced delivery, including identifying optimization opportunities within the testing workflow.
  • Collaborate and communicate effectively across global teams, adapting to cultural and time zone differences.

Note: this role requires presence in the London office minimum 3 days a week.

Requirements:

  • Experience: 10-12 years in Testing, with a strong emphasis on hands-on automation and E2E testing capability.
  • Technical Expertise: Advanced skills in automation, particularly with Selenium using C# or Python. Proficient in Azure DevOps for test management (traceability, test planning, labs, defects).
  • Testing Types Knowledge: Comprehensive experience with multiple testing approaches, including Unit, Smoke, Functional, System, SIT, Integration, Regression, and UAT.
  • Framework Design: Proven experience creating scalable and generic frameworks across multiple teams, with an ability to provide strategic insights based on practical experience.
  • Leadership and Mentorship: Demonstrated skills in leading teams, coaching, and enabling best practices in test frameworks.
  • Project Planning & Strategy: Ability to scope and strategize testing, especially for complex systems, with a focus on ensuring quality deliverables within timelines.

  • Agile Expertise: Solid experience working within Agile frameworks, with a mindset oriented towards iterative improvement.
  • Adaptability: Proactive and well-organized, with a proven ability to work effectively across different geographies, time zones, and cultures.

Nice to Have:
