Testing Manager
Contract: Outside IR35
Hybrid: High Wycombe
Technet IT has partnered with a global retail organisation to deliver a critical Oracle HCM Cloud transformation programme. We are seeking an experienced Testing Manager to lead end-to-end testing across a high-profile People systems migration. This is a 6-month contract (Outside IR35) with a hybrid working model across London (Battersea) and High Wycombe. This role requires strong delivery ownership in a time-critical environment.
The Role
You will take full accountability for testing strategy and execution across the Oracle HCM Cloud migration, covering both business unit and group-level workstreams. This includes ownership of all test phases (SIT, UAT, Parallel Payroll, Cutover), ensuring quality, governance, and readiness across payroll-critical processes, integrations, data, and business continuity.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and own the end-to-end test strategy, approach, and delivery plan (SIT, UAT, regression, data validation, cutover)
- Plan and manage test cycles, including environments, dependencies, and entry/exit criteria
- Ensure environment and test data readiness across all phases
- Coordinate test scenario design for People and payroll-critical processes
- Lead defect triage, prioritisation, and resolution with vendors and internal teams
- Own test reporting, quality metrics, and governance outputs
- Provide clear readiness recommendations to support go/no-go decisions
- Oversee data migration validation and reconciliation, ensuring formal sign-off
- Lead cutover rehearsal testing and go-live assurance
- Produce regular reporting on progress, defects, coverage, and risks
