Reporting to the Program Test Lead, you'll work closely with delivery teams, business stakeholders, technology teams and strategic delivery partners to drive quality outcomes while maintaining delivery momentum.

• Partner with vendors and stakeholders to ensure testing is planned early and executed effectively.
• Provide clear reporting, governance and quality assurance recommendations to senior stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement in testing capability, processes and delivery outcomes.

What You'll Need

• Strong Test Management experience across large, complex technology and business transformation initiatives.
• Experience leading testing across the full delivery lifecycle, including planning, execution, governance and release readiness.
• Experience coordinating testing activities across multiple stakeholders, teams and vendor partners.
• Strong understanding of defect management, test data, environment management and integrated delivery.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery leadership.
• Strong risk management capability and experience effectively escalating issues to support delivery outcomes.
• Experience working within regulated and complex enterprise environments.

Highly regarded:

• Superannuation industry experience.
• Experience supporting Lifetime Income, superannuation product or insurance implementations.
