Lead high-impact test automation and risk-based quality assurance
We are looking for a Senior Test Engineer to cover a period of maternity. you’ll take a leading role in delivering automated and risk-based testing across SAP and non-SAP systems. This role goes beyond execution, it’s about shaping testing strategy, reducing production risk, and embedding automation and quality at the heart of delivery. You’ll design and operate a robust Risk-Based Testing approach using Tricentis LiveCompare, integrating insights into Tosca and Selenium frameworks to optimise regression coverage and prevent defects before they reach production. Working closely with development, architecture, and operations teams, you’ll ensure testing is efficient, scalable, and aligned to business risk.
Why you'll love this role:
- Strategic Impact – Lead risk-based and automated testing that directly reduces production incidents.
- Technical Leadership – Own and evolve enterprise automation frameworks across SAP and non-SAP platforms.
- Modern Tooling – Work with Tricentis LiveCompare, Tosca, Selenium, and integrated test management tooling.
- People Leadership – Lead and coach a team of test automation specialists and augmented resources.
- Continuous Improvement – Drive optimisation, innovation, and quality uplift across the Testing Centre of Excellence.
What you'll bring:
- Strong experience designing and implementing enterprise test automation strategies.
- Proven delivery of risk-based testing approaches, ideally using Tricentis LiveCompare.
- Hands-on expertise with Tosca and Selenium across SAP and non-SAP environments.
- Experience leading test teams, managing backlogs, and supporting incident-driven testing.
- Solid understanding of agile delivery models, SIT, UAT, and regression testing.
- ISTQB Foundation certification (or equivalent) and a relevant degree or transferable experience.
If you’re looking for a senior testing role where you can truly influence quality, automation, and delivery outcomes, this is an opportunity to make a tangible difference. Join us as a Senior Test Engineer and help shape a modern, risk-led testing capability.
