• Execute functional, integration, system, regression, and exploratory testing across PowerShell services, C#/.NET applications, SQL Server components, scheduled jobs, service accounts, APIs, and reporting outputs.
• Validate data integrity and interface processing across HR sources, Active Directory, LDAP, SQL Server, Web Services, and Symantec DLP through source-to-target reconciliation, transformation checks, duplicate handling, missing-data scenarios, and failure-path validation.
• Perform specialist testing of Symantec DLP workflows, including Workflow Designer and Process Manager configurations, reports, dashboards, approvals, notifications, entitlements, escalations, exceptions, and operational recovery.
• Develop and maintain test automation assets for repeatable regression, API, database, data-validation, and workflow checks, with reusable scripts and controlled test results.
• Coordinate test environments and test data, confirm environment readiness, manage dependencies, protect sensitive information, and ensure test conditions are controlled and reproducible.
• Manage the complete defect lifecycle, including clear defect documentation, severity assessment, triage, root-cause collaboration, retesting, regression impact assessment, closure evidence, and ageing analysis.
• Lead SIT assurance and support UAT by preparing execution packs, coordinating stakeholders, tracking progress, validating evidence, and ensuring business acceptance remains with the designated business owner.
• Assess non-functional and operational readiness, including performance, resilience, logging, monitoring, access controls, scheduling, error handling, recoverability, deployment validation, and support handover.
• Produce quality metrics and auditable test evidence covering execution status, requirement coverage, pass rates, defect trends, residual risks, control validation, and test completion.
• Provide an independent release-readiness recommendation against agreed quality gates and exit criteria, clearly documenting unresolved defects, exceptions, limitations, and residual risk for the release authority.
• Drive continuous improvement in testing practices through reusable assets, regression optimization, defect-prevention insights, lessons learned, and consistent quality standards across Agile delivery teams.

Your skills and experience

• Extensive hands-on software testing and quality-assurance experience across enterprise automation, workflow, integration, database, and reporting platforms.
• Strong command of test methodologies and techniques, including risk-based testing, requirements-based testing, boundary-value analysis, equivalence partitioning, negative testing, exploratory testing, regression selection, and defect-based testing.
• Proven test leadership capability covering test strategy, planning, estimation, governance, traceability, quality gates, metrics, evidence, and release-readiness assessment.
• Essential Symantec DLP testing experience with Workflow Designer, Process Manager, workflow configuration, reporting automation, dashboards, approvals, notifications, entitlements, exceptions, and operational support scenarios.
• Strong SQL-based testing skills for source-to-target validation, reconciliation, stored-procedure testing, data-quality checks, transformation validation, and investigation of processing failures.
• Experience testing APIs and Web Services, including SOAP/XML, interface contracts, authentication, error responses, time-outs, retries, and downstream processing.
• Working knowledge of C#, .NET Framework, and PowerShell sufficient for technical analysis, log interpretation, test-data setup, test automation, and effective defect diagnosis; production development ownership is not part of this role.
• Experience validating Active Directory, LDAP, identity integrations, RBAC, Data Security controls, IIS, Windows Server, service accounts, and scheduled processes.
• Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks or scripting for API, database, workflow, and regression testing; ability to create maintainable automated checks is preferred.
• Strong experience in SIT, UAT support, defect triage, regression testing, production validation, test reporting, and audit-ready evidence management.
• Sound understanding of segregation of duties, independent verification, secure change management, control testing, and release governance.
• Experience in Agile delivery, including backlog refinement, test estimation, sprint planning, acceptance-criteria review, continuous testing, and quality reporting.
• Preferred: ServiceNow testing or integration experience, relevant testing certification, and experience within regulated Financial Services environments.
• Strong analytical, investigative, communication, and stakeholder-management skills, with the independence to challenge inadequate coverage, weak evidence, unresolved defects, and unacceptable release risk.
