This thriving Tech company is thrilled to announce the requirement to hire Testers at both expert and management level due to two recently won contracts.   It is truly an exciting time to join the team as the business has seen an up rise in clients and their requirements over the last year and look to push the business further than ever before!

Both roles will be pivotal in achieving customer satisfaction with our newly won contracts by ensuring expectations are met through the testing of their digital environment.  While the Manager will also take responsible for defining the full testing lifecycle for the company’s key customer accounts as well as internal systems; and assuring the testing strategy for a variety of technical deliverables working alongside multiple teams to ensure solutions meet requirements.  The tester will focus on following test plans for key accounts and internal systems.

As part of the multi-disciplined capability centre team, your skills will need to be honed in testing Java & Oracle web applications and Windows 10 with associated applications. 

To be successful, you will have 5+years Tester experience working within large enterprise environments across different sectors.  You are a self-starter able to work independently while flourishing in a team environment with strong interpersonal skills, oral and written communication will be second to none, as will analytical skills.  While we do not expect you to be an expert in troubleshooting you will need to have some experience in this area to enable full function in your role. With a keen eye for detail you will be able to understand and carry out business processes relating them to the testing solution.  You will need to be proficient in MS Office Suite applications (MS Project, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Visio).

You will hold a number of technical certificates and ideally ISTQB Testing qualification, with a thirst to continue your career progression and a proactive approach to continued professional development.

Tester Managers will require an additional 3+years in a similar management role with strong people management and motivation ability.  Strong experience of leading the testing on large enterprise systems is a must. As is the ability to take lead and work with senior internal and external stakeholders.  You will also have robust manual and automation testing experience as well as experience in system interaction and data migration.

These roles need individuals who understands the importance of flexibility in a small business and is able to adapt quickly and think on their feet. There will never be a dull day so you must work well under pressure. While you should never be afraid to ask for help where you need it, you will be expected to be an expert in your field!

The role is full time permanent and based in London with occasional travel to Bristol area (paid).
