Test Lead / Test Capability Consultant — 6 Month Contract
Location: London (1 day per month on-site, remote otherwise)
Day Rate: £550/day (Outside IR35)
Duration: 6 Months
About the Role
We're supporting a partner on a complex digital transformation programme and are looking for an experienced consultant to build digital testing capability from the ground up. This is a hands-on role - you'll be directly involved in test execution using industry-standard tools wherever capability gaps or deadlines require it, while designing a testing framework that spans internal, external, and business testers. Governance and reporting will start lean and scale as maturity grows, and you'll operate as a client-side partner, embedding best practice across suppliers and delivery partners. Working within a small team, you'll bring your broader consulting expertise to bear across product, delivery, and design workstreams as needed.
