Line of Service Advisory Industry/Sector Not Applicable Specialism Technology Strategy Management Level Manager

Job Description & Summary

About the Role:

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Test Manager to join our Consulting Quality Engineering Team. You’ll contribute to shaping and delivering large-scale transformation programmes for clients, with a strong focus on Finance, Banking & Capital Markets, and Insurance—while also supporting work across other sectors where needed. This is a client-facing role in a fast-paced consulting environment that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement—where quality is a core delivery driver.

You’ll manage the testing workstream across complex, end-to-end technology programmes featuring market-leading ERP, CRM, HR/Payroll, Core Banking, Insurance, Digital Experience, and Data/Analytics platforms. Responsibilities include supporting test strategy definition, coordinating resources across distributed teams, and ensuring high-quality outcomes through structured planning, governance, and stakeholder management. You’ll work closely with programme leadership and delivery partners to embed strong testing practices throughout the lifecycle.

Our Quality Engineering team is expanding to meet growing demand for reliable, scalable testing solutions. You’ll contribute to how we enhance our services, adopt new tools and delivery approaches, and apply innovative thinking—including automation and AI—to improve testing execution. This role suits someone with solid consulting experience who enjoys client interaction, thrives in dynamic delivery environments, and is growing toward broader leadership responsibilities while remaining hands-on in test delivery.

What your days will look like:

  • Manage the testing workstream for large-scale transformation programmes involving majority of the enterprise platforms such as ERP, CRM, HR/Payroll, Core Banking, Insurance, Digital Experience, and Data/Analytics platforms.
  • Support the definition and implementation of the test strategy, governance, and quality framework, ensuring alignment with programme objectives and client needs.
  • Oversee end-to-end test planning and execution across functional and non-functional phases, driving consistency, traceability, and efficiency across releases.
  • Coordinate testing teams across onshore, nearshore, and offshore delivery models, promoting collaboration, clarity, and accountability.
  • Work closely with programme leadership, business stakeholders, and multiple vendors to ensure cohesive, well-integrated, and value-focused test delivery.
  • Support the adoption of test automation and CI/CD integration to increase delivery speed, reliability, and overall product quality.
  • Apply AI and emerging technologies to optimise testing activities and strengthen data-driven quality insights.
  • Contribute to business development activities, service offering refinement, and participation in thought leadership initiatives.

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.
