## About the Role

* Seeking candidates with 7+ years of experience
 * Extensive experience in test management or test architecture roles on multi-team release programs.
 * Deep familiarity with JIRA and Zephyr (or equivalent test management tooling), including fix-version alignment and dashboarding.
 * Strong facilitation skills across business, testing, and delivery stakeholders.
 * Experience producing release-level testing artifacts (Test Plan, TER Readiness Checklist, Test Exit Report).
 * Prefer candidates with experience within banking and capital markets, especially within Fraud.

## Description

* Own review of the Project Scope document (PTS) and Project Feature document (Confluence) to determine whether End-to-End (ETE) testing is required.
 * Where ETE testing is required, schedule and lead alignment conversations with Business Analysts and the Business Sponsor to build shared understanding of ETE scenarios and identify all impacted teams early.
 * Bring testing teams into scenario discussions to finalize steps and clear open questions before they become blockers, targeting full ETE scenario sign-off no later than one week before UAT/Unified Testing begins.
 * Coordinate Testbed (TBED) criteria pull readiness, reminding teams to submit for UAT1/UAT2 environments in line with the Release Calendar.
 * Drive Test Data Management (TDM) preparation, coordinating or submitting requests through the designated SharePoint site.
 * Own and distribute the Testing Status email during Unified Testing, calibrating cadence to project risk (day-before/morning-of for low-concern projects; increased cadence for medium/high-concern projects).
 * Send timely reminders to testers ahead of release start to upload user stories and test scripts to the correct Zephyr Release Fix Version aligned to the JIRA Fix Version; for non-Zephyr teams, direct testers to build Excel-based scripts using the Required Testing and Test Exit Report Input document.
 * Monitor testing team progress for slippage risk and intervene early to protect release milestones.
 * Oversee defect health in JIRA, tracking aging defects and driving resolution; for Vendor/Partner-owned defects, ensure accountability sits with the responsible internal developer contact.
 * Initiate the Test Plan Input at the first impacted Sprint.
 * For Zephyr-executing teams, validate that the Zephyr Release aligns with the User Stories Fix Version and that all stories/scripts are loaded and execution-ready.
 * Lead closure: generate the TER Readiness Checklist and own creation of the Test Exit Report (TER), the release-level record of testing performed.
 * Use the JIRA TA Dashboard / targeted JIRA queries to confirm all impacted Scrum Teams - including late joiners - are accounted for.
