SAP Test Lead

An international professional services organisation is looking for an experienced HR Test Lead to join on a 12-month fixed-term contract, supporting the delivery of a major global HR transformation programme.

This is a newly created, standalone role dedicated to a large-scale SAP SuccessFactors implementation. Reporting directly to the IT Test Manager, you'll take ownership of the end-to-end testing life cycle, working independently to define the test strategy, write test scripts, coordinate testing activities and ensure a successful global rollout.

This role is around 85-90% project focused, with limited BAU involvement, offering the opportunity to play a key role in a business-critical transformation programme.

The Role

• Own and deliver the end-to-end HRIS testing strategy throughout the project life cycle.
• Design, write and execute test plans, test cases and test scripts.
• Lead System, Integration and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Coordinate testing activities across HR, IT and third-party implementation partners.
• Manage defects through to resolution using tools such as JIRA or Azure DevOps.
• Validate integrations between HR, payroll and other business systems.
• Provide regular progress updates to key stakeholders and project leadership.
• Ensure testing is delivered to agreed timelines ahead of global go-live.

We're looking for someone who has previously led testing on large HR transformation programmes and is comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.

You'll ideally have:

• End-to-end HRIS implementation testing experience.
• Experience with SAP SuccessFactors (highly desirable), Workday or Oracle HCM.
• Strong knowledge of System Testing, Integration Testing and UAT.
• Hands-on experience writing test scripts and managing defects.
• Experience working on global or large regional HR transformation projects.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience within large enterprise environments supporting 1,000+ users.
• Experience using JIRA or Azure DevOps.

• Join a major global HR transformation programme from an early phase.
• High-profile, business-critical project with real ownership.
• Standalone Test Lead position with autonomy and visibility.
• Hybrid working - 2 days per week in a modern Central London office.
• Competitive salary of £70,000-£80,000 (with flexibility for the right candidate).
• Comprehensive benefits package.
