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.

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.

• 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.

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)

• 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
