  • Develop and execute test scenarios, test cases and test plans based on business and technical requirements.
  • Work closely with developers and technical teams to investigate defects, support troubleshooting and validate fixes.
  • Use technical debugging concepts such as breakpoints and debugging techniques to investigate automation issues.
  • Identify risks, gaps and dependencies, ensuring potential quality issues are addressed early.
  • Influence and support squad members to embed quality throughout the delivery lifecycle.
  • Communicate testing progress, risks, defects and outcomes clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Skills and Experience To be successful in this role, you will bring:
  • RPA experience: Previous hands-on experience working with Robotic Process Automation, with a good understanding of how RPA solutions operate and can be tested.
  • Functional testing: Strong experience in functional testing, including test planning, test execution, defect management and quality assurance.
  • Technical understanding: A sound technical foundation and the ability to understand automation workflows, investigate issues and work with debugging concepts such as breakpoints.
  • Enterprise systems: Experience testing complex enterprise applications and integrated systems, ideally within a financial institution or banking environment.
  • Test leadership: Previous Test Lead experience, with the ability to independently manage testing within a squad and influence developers and other team members to uphold quality standards.
  • ISTQB: ISTQB Foundation certification is essential.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to engage with stakeholders across business and technology teams.
