This post is the independent half. You would join the product and service assurance team of a multinational defence organisation in The Hague, Netherlands - verifying and validating delivered projects, systems, services and programmes, and reporting on them at executive level. Mostly on-site, with flexibility to work from home. What you would be doing

• Planning, organising and running formal reviews and assessments across complex and cross-functional domains, and along the supply chain
• Appraising work against the organisation’s standards, identifying where it does not comply, and working out why
• Producing the test documentation - event test plans, test cases, traceability matrices, reports
• Assuring other people’s test artefacts, the traceability matrix above all
• Managing the design, planning, execution and reporting of verification and validation events
• Supporting projects delivered by external contractors
• Supporting the operational community through acceptance activities

• At least five years, recently, planning and executing test, verification and validation on large and complex projects
• At least five years testing systems and products for function, behaviour under load, and interoperability with everything around them
• Proven management of external stakeholders and colleagues through a large delivery
• Enough architectural literacy to reason about the hardware and software designs you find in system documentation
• Communication that is clear, coherent and concise, written and spoken
• Experience leading a team of testers, quality engineers or developers
• Testing in virtualised and cloud environments
• The usual test, defect and requirements management tooling
• Independent testing where the testing itself is done by someone else

Nice to have

• An advanced testing or test-management certification
• Testing in a defence or military business domain, and interoperability testing in that context
• Assurance tools and processes
