Job Description

The University is embarking on an ambitious programme to move its on premise Unit4 Finance system to a cloud-based solution.

The Test Lead will be pivotal in ensuring a smooth transition on the lead up to and during implementation.



To excel in this role, you will have experience of leading large and complex testing of transactional systems, and the ability to work cross-functionally across multiple workstreams. You will have ISTQB or equivalent experience.
