The Role: UST Test Manager

UST is seeking an experienced Test Manager to lead a team of ~10 QA professionals (Manual & Automation), supporting two Agile Scrum teams. This role requires technical leadership, strategic QA initiatives, oversight of testing activities, and strong client engagement.

    • Define, execute, and monitor test strategies, test plans, test schedules, and quality metrics.
    • Collaborate with stakeholders to align testing efforts with project goals.
  • Technical Expertise

    • Provide guidance on automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress) and testing best practices.
    • Oversee Non-Functional Testing (NFRs), including Performance, Security, Scalability, Reliability, and Accessibility Testing.
  • Defect and Quality Governance

    • Own and facilitate defect triage meetings, ensuring prioritization, root cause analysis, tracking, and timely resolution.
    • Analyze defect trends and quality metrics to drive continuous improvement.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration

    • Work closely with Product Owners, Developers, Architects, Business Analysts, and DevOps teams through the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
    • Manage client expectations and third-party vendor relationships.

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.
