You will be joining a team in the final stages of delivering Phase 1 of a much larger business transition project so you will need to be proactive, enjoy a challenge and can quickly learn on the job.

You will also act as the point of contact for an external testing team who we work closely with. Part of your role will involve guiding their testing efforts and enabling their continued testing of our developments, so experience of leading a team is a huge advantage.

This work often includes demoing new releases to the team and answering queries about internal requirements or business rules.
