Lead and coordinate overall UAT execution, issue tracking, test evidence documentation, and release readiness support.

•          Automation Leadership: Lead test automation initiatives by developing automation strategies, identifying automation opportunities, recommending appropriate frameworks/tools, and implementing automated regression solutions to reduce manual testing effort.

•          Defect Lifecycle Management: Manage defect identification, logging, triage, prioritization, escalation, retesting, resolution validation, and status reporting using enterprise testing tools.

•          Vendor & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with vendors responsible for Unit Testing and System Integration Testing (SIT) to align testing strategies, improve quality coverage, and minimize redundant testing.

•          Metrics & Reporting: Track, analyze, and communicate testing metrics, execution progress, defect trends, test coverage, and quality risks to leadership and project teams.

•          Continuous Improvement: Refine and enhance existing regression test suites. Support post-implementation validation, production issue analysis, QA/UAT best practices, and continuous process improvement initiatives.

Required Qualifications

•          Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience).

•          QA/UAT & BA Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in Quality Assurance (QA), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and/or Business Analysis roles supporting enterprise systems.

•          Test Automation Experience: Minimum of 3 years in test automation, including strategy development and transitioning manual testing processes to automated solutions.

•          Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies.

•          Advanced skills in Excel and Microsoft Office applications.

•          Deep understanding of testing methodologies and types (e.g., black box, regression, negative testing).

•          Familiarity with testing frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Power Automate, JUnit, Azure Test Plans).

•          Experience with .NET applications, Angular front-ends, and relational databases.
