The Test Manager will play a crucial part in enhancing the employee experience during a transformative journey at First Bus.

Strong leadership and people management skills, with the ability to motivate and guide the testing team effectively. In-depth understanding of testing methodologies and best practices. Ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. In-depth knowledge of HR processes, including payroll, talent management, and employee lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and implement detailed test strategies and plans, ensuring alignment with project goals and timelines. Collaborate with stakeholders (subject matter experts, regional Heads of HR, Technology and HRIS team etc) to define testing scope, objectives, and deliverables. Manage a team of test leads and test analysts, ensuring optimal allocation of resources based on project needs. Engage with cross-functional project teams to comprehend and translate system requirements into effective test scenarios and scripts. Actively participate in design discussions to anticipate and address potential testing challenges. Provide hands-on oversight of functional and non-functional testing processes, ensuring adherence to quality standards and best practices. Implement effective test execution strategies to identify, isolate, and report defects promptly. Implement efficient processes for the identification, logging, tracking, and resolution of defects throughout the testing life cycle. Collaborate with development and business teams to ensure timely resolution of identified issues. Continuously assess and enhance testing processes, methodologies, and tools to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Proactively identify opportunities for automation and implement testing innovations to streamline workflows.

This role highly values practical experience in HR system implementations, and candidates with expertise in HR platforms such as Workday, SAP, Oracle, Ceridian, etc., will be highly regarded.
