Mobile App Tester (Contract - Outside IR35)

Location: Remote
Contract Length: Short-term (June -July project)
Start Date: Immediate

The Opportunity

We're working with an exciting client who is about to launch a brand-new customer-facing mobile application designed to drive sales and enhance user experience. As the app approaches its BETA phase , they are looking to bring in an experienced Mobile App Tester to provide an independent, external perspective on quality and functionality across both iOS and Android platforms .

This is a short-term, project-based contract , ideal for someone who thrives on fast-paced delivery and has a keen eye for detail in both functionality and design.

The Role

You'll be supporting the final stages of delivery by conducting manual testing of a native mobile application (iOS & Android). Working alongside an internal QA team, your focus will be to validate that the app:

• Functions as intended across all key features
• Accurately reflects the approved designs and UI standards
• Delivers a smooth and consistent user experience

You'll act as an external quality checkpoint , providing valuable, unbiased insight ahead of a scheduled penetration test in early July .

Key Responsibilities

• Perform end-to-end manual testing across Android and iOS devices
• Review the app against design specifications to ensure visual accuracy and consistency
• Identify and document bugs, UX issues, and functional discrepancies
• Provide a detailed test report outlining findings, risks, and recommendations
• Work to a tight timeline, ensuring the app is test-ready by 26th June

About You

We're looking for someone who can hit the ground running, with:

• Proven experience in mobile app testing (iOS & Android)
• Strong background in manual testing and exploratory testing
• A keen eye for detail, particularly around UI/UX and design fidelity
• Experience writing clear and comprehensive test reports
• Ability to work independently and provide an objective, user-focused perspective

Additional Information

• This is not a full QA ownership role - the client has an internal team in place
• Your contribution will be from a functional and user experience standpoint
• Security testing is already scheduled, so this role focuses on usability and performance validation

If you're available immediately and have the expertise to ensure a high-quality app release, we'd love to hear from you.
