Test Manager

Client is seeking an experienced Test Manager to lead and drive end-to-end testing.

This is a contractor role responsible for establishing, managing, and executing the overall testing strategy across a complex, multi-system environment. The Test Manager will partner closely with Global IT, business stakeholders, PMO, and Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS) teams to ensure high-quality delivery, governance, and readiness for deployment.

The role requires strong leadership across System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), regression and readiness cycles, ensuring alignment with defined entry/exit criteria, defect thresholds, and governance expectations.

    • User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
    • User Dress Rehearsal (UDR)
    • Regression testing
  • Ensure risk-based testing prioritization, focused on critical business processes, integrations, and controls.

2. Test Planning & Governance

  • Develop and govern detailed test plans, schedules, and execution models aligned with the integrated program plan.
  • Define and enforce entry/exit criteria, readiness checkpoints, and test cycles.
  • Ensure complete requirements traceability (RTM) and coverage of all business processes.
  • Work with PMO to establish and maintain RACI, reporting cadence, and governance forums.

    • SAP S/4HANA

    • Reporting and dashboards
  • Coordinate with Global TaaS teams, SMEs, and IT delivery teams for smooth execution.
  • Ensure test scripts are designed, reviewed, approved, and executed with proper evidence.

5. Defect & Quality Management

  • Own defect triage, prioritization, and resolution governance.
  • Ensure defects are tracked, categorized, and resolved within thresholds:
    • No critical/high defects at phase exit
    • Defined pass-rate thresholds (e.g., 9095% for SIT, 100% for UAT)
  • Drive root cause analysis and regression validation.
  • Provide daily defect and testing status reporting to leadership.

6. Business Engagement & UAT Leadership

  • Partner with business stakeholders to:
    • Define UAT scope and scenarios
    • Support business testers during execution
    • Ensure complete validation of business processes
  • Drive UAT sign-off and deployment readiness decisions.

7. Environment & Data Readiness

  • Ensure readiness of:
    • Test environments (SIT, UAT, Dress Rehearsal)
    • Test data (mock cutovers, converted data)
  • Coordinate environment dependencies and readiness milestones with IT and PMO.

8. Reporting & Executive Communication

  • Provide daily/weekly test status reporting, including:
    • Execution progress
    • Defect metrics
    • Risk and issue tracking
  • Present updates to senior leadership and governance forums.
  • Escalate risks proactively with mitigation plans.
