The role:
Do you have experience of testing systems and business processes in a business facing role?
We are the UK’s largest Closed Life and Pension Fund Consolidator and one of ‘Britain’s Top Employers 2016’ and we are looking for a Test Lead to join our Testing Team.

Other responsibilities include:
- Liaising with a wide range of business representatives and stakeholders from around the organisation. This includes actuaries, accountants, design and build teams and project managers. (but don’t worry, you don’t need to have the skillset these SME’s do, but simply be able to communicate with them effectively)
- Delivering the testing of a project or scheduled releases in accordance with the Test Strategy and ensure overall delivery of the deliverables in line with the agreed Schedule.
- Owning the Test Schedule and drive forward the delivery of testing in close co-operation with Testers (including business testers).

We put people first in everything we do and are always looking for new professionals to join our talented team. Our funds are closed, enabling us to focus on areas that other businesses can't. This means that, among the many benefits of working at Phoenix (such as free lunches at our onsite restaurant, nature trail walk, putting green, free car parking, subsidised onsite sport facilities including gym, football & cricket pitches, tennis courts, excellent rewards schemes…we could go on!), our staff can enjoy exposure to a diverse workload not found elsewhere. We're proud of what we do, and we've recently gained recognition for our distinctive business model. We offer excellent training opportunities, career development and company culture.
