  • Coordinate UAT efforts, ensuring alignment with business goals and user expectations.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to validate outcomes and secure delivery approvals.
  • Effectively utilise tools such as JIRA and Confluence for test documentation, tracking, and reporting.
  • Maintain a detailed audit trail of testing progress and defect resolution.
  • Present technical information clearly and concisely to diverse audiences, including non-technical stakeholders and senior management.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders to ensure alignment and support.



Requirements:


  • Demonstrable experience in ServiceNow project testing, including implementations, upgrades, and integrations.
  • In-depth understanding of Windows re-platforming projects, including Windows 10 to Windows 11 migrations.
  • Knowledge of M365 deployment and integration testing.
  • Proven ability to lead and execute testing activities beyond defect logging, focusing on technical scenario execution and issue resolution.
  • Strong experience in JIRA and ServiceNow testing environments.
  • Extensive experience in writing test approaches, plans, and completion reports.
  • Adept at designing, executing, and managing technical test scenarios with attention to detail.
  • Proficiency in JIRA and Confluence for managing test documentation and workflows.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard testing methodologies and frameworks.
  • Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
  • Strong organisational skills and a results-oriented mindset.


Desirable:


  • ISTQB certification or equivalent.
  • Experience in Agile/Scrum environments.
  • Background in IT infrastructure or systems integration.


Benefits:


  • Join a rapidly expanding start-up where personal growth is a part of our DNA.
  • Benefit from a flexible work environment focused on deliverable outcomes.

  • Valuing the unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of all employees and creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.


  • Prohibiting all forms of harassment, bullying, discrimination, and victimisation and promoting a culture of dignity and respect for all.


  • Educating all new hires on our Diversity and Inclusion policies and ensuring they are aware of their rights and responsibilities to create a safe and inclusive workplace.


By taking these steps, we are dedicated to building a workplace that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our employees and communities.



What Happens Next?
