Rate: £475–£500 per day, Outside IR35

Function: Change Delivery
About the Role
Our client's Change Delivery team needs an experienced Test Manager / Test Assurance Lead to cover a period of long-term absence. You'll take ownership of testing across a portfolio of change projects, establish the current position fast, and operate with real autonomy from day one.
Third-party suppliers handle technical test execution, you'll provide the internal assurance layer, making sure their testing is robust enough to support delivery decisions. UAT is different: you'll own it end-to-end.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Doing
- Assessing the current testing position across projects, flagging gaps and risks.
- Producing and assuring Test Plans, with clear entry/exit criteria and timelines.
- Reviewing and challenging third-party supplier testing — plans, coverage, defects.
- Giving independent readiness assessments and managing testing governance and reporting.
- Owning UAT end-to-end: scope, scheduling, business tester coordination, defect management and sign-off.

What We're Looking For
- Strong Test Manager/Lead experience across multiple concurrent projects, including Test Plans and strategy.
- Proven UAT planning and delivery, mobilising business testers and stakeholders.
- Experience assuring (not just accepting) third-party supplier testing.
- Confident challenging suppliers and stakeholders, comfortable with ambiguity, able to work independently from day one.
