You will lead a team of testers, validating complex multi-system integrations, data integrity, and end-to-end financial business processes across the R2R, P2P, and O2C lifecycles to ensure a high-quality, low-risk implementation.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategy & Leadership: Define and own the master test strategy and test plans. Lead, mentor, and coordinate a team of testers through SIT, Regression, Data Migration, and UAT phases.

- Data Migration Validation: Lead data migration testing from legacy systems, including record reconciliation, sampling, and discrepancy analysis.
- Defect Management: Own the defect lifecycle (triage, prioritisation, and tracking) using JIRA/Azure DevOps. Collaborate with functional consultants, developers, and third parties to drive swift resolution.
- UAT Coordination: Lead UAT cycles, partnering closely with Finance business analysts, process owners, and business users to coordinate testing and execute defect re-testing.
- Governance & Reporting: Maintain clear, auditable test execution evidence. Provide regular progress, risk, and blocker metrics to the Test Manager and programme leadership.
What We Are Looking For (Required)
- ERP / Finance Transformation: Proven experience as a Test Lead delivering SIT/UAT on large-scale ERP or Finance transformation programmes.
- Technical Integration Testing: Strong experience working in integration-heavy environments. Ability to interpret and analyse JSON and XML data structures.
- Data Migration: Hands-on experience in data migration validation, ledger reconciliation, and data integrity testing.
- Tooling: Proficiency in defect management platforms (e.g., JIRA, Azure DevOps) and interface testing workflows.
- Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of engaging comfortably with senior Finance leaders and technical teams alike.
Desirable Skills (Pluses)
- Direct testing experience with Workday Financials modules (GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Banking, Procurement, Expenses).
- Familiarity with Workday integration tools (EIB, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, PECI).
- Strong domain knowledge in finance/accounting principles.
- Experience with API testing tools like Postman or SoapUI.
