Test Manager
Up to £65,000 | Hybrid (Greater London Area)
Overview
We are partnering with a university who are seeking a Test Manager to build & lead its testing function from scratch, across a wide range of digital and technology initiatives.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an organisation who are at early stage of modernising their Data Platforms & integrations services. They are looking into creating a whole testing function to carry out manual and automated testing. This is a role for people who are able to deal with ambiguity at the start, devise robust strategies and influence how testing is conducted.
You'll be responsible for defining testing strategy, managing a team of Test Analysts, and ensuring new systems, integrations and enhancements are thoroughly tested before deployment. The IT Services department is comprised of excellent, talented individuals driven by a mission of improving staff & student experience. You’ll be working closely with project teams, technical specialists and stakeholders to champion quality throughout the software development lifecycle.
