We're looking for an experienced Test Manager who can lead test delivery across complex, large-scale programmes, providing clear direction, governance and evidence-based assurance to client stakeholders. You'll be accountable for the planning, governance and delivery of the likes of SIT, UAT and test automation, working with our clients to deliver with confidence across some of the largest programmes in the country.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with delivery leads, business analysts, product owners, developers, technical teams and client stakeholders - leading teams to plan, coordinate and deliver business-focused testing across complex technology programmes.

You might find yourself:

• Leading functional test workstreams across the likes of SIT, UAT and test automation, with clear scope, entry and exit criteria, dependencies, milestones and governance.
• Creating and owning test strategies, test plans, estimates, schedules, resource requirements, quality gates and reporting approaches.
• Defining and governing a risk-based test approach that provides traceability across requirements, business processes, user journeys, interfaces and critical business risks.
• Leading SIT across integrated systems, services, data flows and third parties, ensuring environments, test data and dependencies are ready.
• Leading UAT, including business-user engagement, scenario design, scheduling, guidance, evidence capture, defect triage and acceptance reporting.
• Establishing the functional and automated testing approaches, ensuring activities are planned, coordinated and delivered in line with programme objectives.
• Leading and developing test teams, setting priorities, managing capacity and performance, resolving delivery blockers and building sustainable testing capability.
• Producing clear test dashboards and completion reports, supporting defect governance and providing evidence-based assurance on quality, residual risk and release readiness.

Your work will have national impact - the systems we test are used by millions of people every day, often in mission-critical environments.

You're curious, collaborative, and hands-on.

You bring clarity to complex delivery environments, communicate confidently with senior business and technical audiences, and know how to balance coverage, pace and risk. You take initiative, challenge assumptions constructively and help teams make evidence-based decisions.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
