SAP Senior Test Manager - Permanent

Senior Test Manager (Permanent)

This is a senior leadership role responsible for defining and establishing the end-to-end testing capability across a complex enterprise transformation programme. The successful candidate will own testing strategy, governance, methodologies, tooling and delivery across an integrated ecosystem centred around SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and Salesforce platforms.

The role appears to be at the early build stage, with groundwork having been started by a contractor, but significant implementation work still required. It would suit someone who has previously built testing functions, frameworks and automation strategies from scratch within large-scale ERP and CRM transformation programmes.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and implement the enterprise test strategy.
• Establish testing methodologies, standards and governance.
• Oversee all test cycles across the entire application landscape.
• Drive adoption of test automation and automation tooling.
• Manage integration, system, end-to-end and UAT testing activities.
• Coordinate testing across SAP, Salesforce and third-party platforms.
• Build testing processes, reporting and quality metrics.
• Engage with business stakeholders, project teams and vendors.
• Ensure quality assurance supports programme delivery timelines.
• Lead continuous improvement of testing capability and maturity.
