About The Role
Lead Test Analyst
37 Hours
1 x Permanent & 1 x 18 Month Fixed Term Contract
Salary From £36,000-£44,000 Depending On Experience
Location Pity Me, Durham/Hybrid
About The Role
As a Lead Test Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in overseeing testing processes, resources, and plans for development and releases within IT projects and Product Families. You will be required to create and implement Test Strategies that ensure NWLs testing processes verify that a product or system meets its quality objectives and is reliable and performant.
Reporting into our Service Management & QA Manager, in this role, you will be responsible for proactively managing risk across testing activities to ensure project testing success and quality outcomes. This involves identifying risks early in the testing process, assessing their impact on timelines and deliverables, and agreeing and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
You will excel at building and maintaining effective relationships with stakeholders, ensuring that their perspectives are considered in decision-making processes. Your strong communication skills will enable you to convey complex technical concepts clearly, fostering trust and alignment as you provide updates on test progress, align on strategic objectives, and ensure transparency around testing activities and outcomes.
Collaboration is key, and you will work alongside both internal teams and third-party partners to build a culture which supports a proactive approach to testing across NWL and lays the foundations to deliver test automation.
