MCS Group is delighted to be partnering with a leading organisation as it undertakes a major enterprise-wide Workday transformation.
We are seeking an experienced ERP / Workday Test Lead to take end-to-end ownership of the programme testing lifecycle. You will ensure that business processes, integrations, data migration, security and reporting are fully validated and that the organisation is ready for a successful go-live.
Acting as the central point of coordination between the programme team, systems integrator, Workday, business stakeholders and third-party suppliers, you will provide independent assurance over solution quality, programme risk and deployment readiness.
The Role
You will:
- Develop and maintain the Programme Test Strategy and Test Plan.
- Establish testing standards, governance, controls and reporting.
- Define entry and exit criteria for each testing phase.
- Plan and coordinate testing across a multi-module deployment.
- Manage test-script preparation, execution, schedules and resources.
- Coordinate business participation and support users through UAT.
- Facilitate test-planning, defect-triage and readiness workshops.
- Establish and manage the programme defect process.
- Monitor testing progress, risks, defects and quality metrics.
- Ensure business processes are fully represented within test scenarios.
- Support dress rehearsals, cutover and deployment planning.
- Provide formal testing sign-off and go-live readiness recommendations.
