Job Description
Oracle ERP Test Manager – Outside IR35 Contract
Lead Testing Excellence Across Enterprise ERP Transformations
Version 1 is seeking an experienced Oracle ERP Test Manager to support the delivery of large-scale ERP transformation programmes on an Outside IR35 contract basis.
We are looking for a hands-on testing leader with a proven track record managing complex ERP testing deliveries across integrated Finance and Payroll landscapes.
While Oracle ERP Cloud experience is highly desirable, we are also open to candidates with deep expertise across other Tier 1 ERP platforms including SAP, Workday, or Microsoft Dynamics.
This role offers the opportunity to work on high-profile enterprise transformation programmes within a fast-paced consulting environment.
The Role
As Test Manager, you will take ownership of the end-to-end testing lifecycle across enterprise ERP programmes, ensuring quality delivery, governance, and successful business outcomes.
You will work closely with programme leadership, client stakeholders, technical delivery teams, and third-party partners to coordinate and drive all testing activities across complex integrated environments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
