Integration Test Manager

This is a hands-on leadership role spanning both pre-sales and delivery. Early on, you’ll work alongside the Sales and Solution Design teams to define contractual test requirements for new automated warehouse proposals, and lead software scope discussions directly with clients. Once an order is won, you’ll take ownership of building and executing the full testing plan covering software and hardware, internal and third-party systems right through to contractual performance testing and early-life support after customer handover.
