- Partner with business, technology and vendor stakeholders to validate requirements, identify risks, manage defects and support successful project outcomes.
- Provide clear reporting and evidence-based readiness assessments that support project governance and release decisions.
- Build strong relationships across the organisation, acting as a trusted advisor and connector between business and technical teams.
- Reform testing and provide business analyst support
About you
- Demonstrated experience in Test Management, Quality Assurance or Test Analysis within large and complex technology environments.
- Strong understanding of testing lifecycles, requirements traceability, governance frameworks and quality assurance practices.

- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to influence both technical and non-technical audiences.
