• Ensure comprehensive test coverage across payment flows, including high-volume and real-time transactions
• Coordinate closely with business stakeholders, delivery managers, and technology teams
• Oversee defect management, including triage, prioritisation, and resolution
• Ensure compliance with regulatory, security, and audit requirements in a banking environment
• Provide clear status reporting, risk assessments, and test metrics to senior stakeholders
• Support go-live readiness, cutover planning, and post-implementation validation
  
  

Key Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as a Test Manager within a large retail banking environment
• Strong hands-on experience with real-time and faster payments systems
• Demonstrated experience delivering testing for banking payments implementations
• Experience operating within Agile delivery models in regulated environments
• Solid background in large-scale legacy-to-digital transformation programmes
• Deep knowledge of payments, transaction banking, cash management, or corporate banking domains
• Experience managing large test teams and working across multiple vendors
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• Good understanding of test automation approaches (UI, API, performance), even if not hands-on
  
  

Highly Desirable

• Knowledge of domestic and international payment systems, including BACS, CHAPS, SEPA, ACH, and RTGS, alongside messaging networks such as SWIFT Experience with API-driven architectures
