Test Manager Wanted - Big Impact, Small Team, Zero Red Tape Tired of endless layers of process and sign-offs just to push a test case live? Join a fast-growing Microsoft Partner where your decisions actually matter. We're looking for a hands-on, sharp-minded Test Manager who knows how to balance manual and automation testing, can handle complex enterprise environments, and isn't afraid to get stuck in. If you've got a background with big-name SIs - but crave more agility, autonomy, and influence - this one's for you.

About Us

We're a small but mighty Microsoft Partner that punches well above our weight. Our clients range from mid-market heroes to enterprise titans, and we deliver end-to-end solutions that make real impact. We're growing fast and need a Test Manager who's equal parts strategic and hands-on - someone who can own our testing capability across both manual and automation.

What You'll Be Doing

Define and own the test strategy across multiple projects, balancing manual and automation testing methods.

Lead, mentor, and grow a lean but high-performing QA team.

Implement and champion modern test tools (think Selenium, Cypress, Postman, Azure DevOps, etc.)

Work closely with devs, BAs, PMs, and clients to ensure quality from day one.

Manage UAT with clients - particularly important when dealing with complex enterprise ecosystems.

Contribute to project planning, risk assessments, and delivery timelines.

Maintain a laser focus on quality, without becoming a bottleneck to agile delivery.

What We're Looking For

✅ Proven experience in a Test Manager or Senior Test Lead role ✅ Solid background working with major systems integrators (e.g. Atos, DXC, Capgemini) ✅ Strong hybrid of manual and automation testing - you know when to script and when to just explore ✅ Hands-on knowledge of modern tools - Selenium, Cypress, Azure DevOps, Jira, Postman, etc. ✅ Enterprise-scale testing experience - complex systems, data-heavy platforms, integrations galore ✅ Outstanding stakeholder management and communication skills ✅ Comfortable working onsite in London 1-2 days per week plus travel opportunities

ISTQB or similar certification

Microsoft platform experience (Dynamics 365, Azure, Power Platform)

Experience in regulated industries (e.g. finance, healthcare, government)

What You'll Get

Competitive base salary

Flexible hybrid working (but we're serious about those London days)

Chance to shape testing from the ground up in a high-growth business
