QA & Test Analyst- 8month FTC

QA & Test Analyst - 8-Month Fixed-Term Contract

Fixed-term contract for the duration of Programme Drive.

The Opportunity

Quality sits at the heart of what Programme Drive is trying to achieve. Lawfront is consolidating seven hub firms onto a unified technology stack, and the confidence to go live on any platform depends entirely on whether the testing has been done properly. This is where you come in.

As QA & Test Analyst, you will own the quality assurance and testing function across all Programme Drive products, ensuring that what gets delivered to end users across the group works as it should, every time.

The scope is broad. You will be responsible for QA and testing across Aderant Expert Sierra, Clio Operate, and NetDocuments, working closely with:

• The development and Business Analyst (BA) teams throughout the build and configuration cycle
• The data team on migration validation
• The Education and adoption team as users are prepared for new ways of working
• End users across the hub firms on user acceptance testing

You will:

• Design and maintain test scripts
• Coordinate UAT cycles
• Manage defect tracking
• Ensure testing isostructured, evidenced, and completed to a standard that gives the programme team confidence to proceed

If you are methodical, thorough, and motivated by the idea that good testing is what separates a successful technology rollout from a difficult one, this role will suit you well.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain structured test scripts for:
  • Aderant Expert Sierra
  • Clio Operate

  • Capture and triage outcomes effectively
• Work closely with the data team to:
  • Validate migration outputs
  • Confirm data has transferred accurately and completely from source systems into the target platform before seeking sign-off
• Own defect management across the testing lifecycle, including:
  • Logging, prioritising, and tracking issues to resolution
  • Ensuring nothing progresses to go-live with ongoing or unresolved defects
• Collaborate with developers and Business Analysts during the build and configuration cycle to:
  • Provide QA input early in the process
  • Review requirements and designs for testability
  • Ensure defects identified in testing are communicated clearly and resolved effectively
• Establish and maintain a QA framework for Programme Drive that is:
  • Consistent across products and hubs
  • Features clear entry and exit criteria
  • Meets test coverage standards and sign-off processes that the wider delivery team can rely on
• Engage with:
  • Hub IT teams
  • Configuration specialists
  • Vendors
  • To ensure defects and test findings are understood, prioritised correctly, and resolved within agreed timelines, protecting the delivery schedule

  • The programme team and hub leadership with a clear, evidence-based view of readiness before each go-live decision
• Build and maintain a library of reusable test assets, including:
  • Regression packs
  • UAT scripts, for efficient adaptation when deploying new hubs
• Serve as the quality conscience of the programme by:
  • Raising concerns early regarding scope, timelines, or resourcing that may risk testing thoroughness
  • Working constructively with the delivery lead to find solutions
• Coach and support end users through UAT alongside the Education and adoption team to:
  • Help them understand what they are testing
  • Record findings accurately
  • Ensure their sign-off is meaningful, rather than be purely procedural
