Test Manager (Functional)

Project description

We are inviting your organization to qualify its ability to provide test management services for our Treasury 4.0 (TRE 4.0) program. We are seeking an alternative delivery partner to the current incumbent for the remaining test phases. We want to appoint people who have run this kind of testing before on comparable financial-systems programmes - not generalists

Responsibilities

• Own the functional test management end to end - conceptual design, coordination of execution, governance and reporting - so that the business can prepare and run the tests against a controlled, risk-based plan. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Conceptual test design: own/refine the test strategy, stages and types, and the risk-based testing and traceability methodology.
• Oversee scenario-catalogue and test-case creation by PwC; coordinate test-case structures, templates and scripts; review completeness and consistency of all artefacts.
• Assemble and consolidate test cases, scenarios, plans and execution waves; ensure full RTM traceability from requirements to scenarios to execution; run the final readiness/entry-gate check.
• Coordinate execution across SIT, BFT, E2E, UAT and regression: align SMEs, testers and vendor teams on scope; ensure environments, data and access are ready.
• Own the master test schedule and execution calendar; manage dependencies across testing streams, adjust test plan in response to defects; run coordination meetings.
• Track progress, coverage and plan adherence; escalate to vendor teams on defect turnaround and to SE management where remediating action is needed; assure evidence quality and maintain a single source of truth.
• Run the defect process and daily triage; coordinate retests and regression cycles; ensure compliance and handle escalations.
• Produce structured status and KPI reports; provide phase-closure forecasts from defect discovery rate/density and execution progress; deliver Go/No-Go recommendations to leadership.
• Own interaction with the external auditors assuring test coverage and execution.

SKILLS

Must have

• - Demonstrable test management leadership on large, integrated, multi-vendor programmes; - ownership of the SIT/E2E/UAT lifecycle; risk-based testing and RTM traceability; - defect governance and daily triage in Jira (Zephyr); - coordinating execution across SI, SME and business testers; - KPI reporting and Go/No-Go recommendations.

Nice to have

• Highly desirable: Testing of financial systems (financial services, ERP-integrated or payments platforms). • Desirable: Corporate treasury domain (cash, payments, FX, hedging, accounting); exposure to FIS Quantum / FIS Trax.
