Job Description

Title: Enterprise Testing and Deployment Consultant
Location: Hybrid 3 days a week in Irving, TX
Responsibilities

Own review of the Project Scope document (PTS) and Project Feature document (Confluence) to determine whether End-to-End (ETE) testing is required.
Where ETE testing is required, schedule and lead alignment conversations with Business Analysts and the Business Sponsor to build shared understanding of ETE scenarios and identify all impacted teams early.
Bring testing teams into scenario discussions to finalize steps and clear open questions before they become blockers, targeting full ETE scenario sign-off no later than one week before UAT/Unified Testing begins.
Coordinate Testbed (TBED) criteria pull readiness, reminding teams to submit for UAT1/UAT2 environments in line with the Release Calendar.
Drive Test Data Management (TDM) preparation, coordinating or submitting requests through the designated SharePoint site.
Own and distribute the Testing Status email during Unified Testing, calibrating cadence to project risk (day-before/morning-of for low-concern projects; increased cadence for medium/high-concern projects).
Send timely reminders to testers ahead of release start to upload user stories and test scripts to the correct Zephyr Release Fix Version aligned to the JIRA Fix Version; for non-Zephyr teams, direct testers to build Excel-based scripts using the Required Testing and Test Exit Report Input document.
Monitor testing team progress for slippage risk and intervene early to protect release milestones.
Oversee defect health in JIRA, tracking aging defects and driving resolution; for Vendor/Partner-owned defects, ensure accountability sits with the responsible internal developer contact.
Initiate the Test Plan Input at the first impacted Sprint.
For Zephyr-executing teams, validate that the Zephyr Release aligns with the User Stories Fix Version and that all stories/scripts are loaded and execution-ready.
Lead closure: generate the TER Readiness Checklist and own creation of the Test Exit Report (TER), the release-level record of testing performed.
Use the JIRA TA Dashboard / targeted JIRA queries to confirm all impacted Scrum Teams — including late joiners — are accounted for.

Requirements:

Seeking candidates with 7+ years of experience
Extensive experience in test management or test architecture roles on multi-team release programs.
Deep familiarity with JIRA and Zephyr (or equivalent test management tooling), including fix-version alignment and dashboarding.
Strong facilitation skills across business, testing, and delivery stakeholders.
Experience producing release-level testing artifacts (Test Plan, TER Readiness Checklist, Test Exit Report).
Prefer candidates with experience within banking and capital markets, especially within Fraud.
