Job Description
Oracle ERP Test Manager
Lead Testing Excellence Across Enterprise ERP Programmes
Are you an experienced Test Manager with a passion for quality, delivery, and continuous improvement? At Version 1, we’re transforming how organisations operate through Oracle Cloud—and we’re looking for a leader to drive testing across complex, enterprise-scale ERP programmes.
While Oracle ERP Cloud experience is highly desirable, we are equally open to candidates with strong Test Management expertise gained across other Tier 1 ERP platforms (such as SAP, Workday, or Microsoft Dynamics), particularly within Finance and Payroll domains.
The Opportunity
As a Test Manager, you will:
- Own and lead the full testing lifecycle—from strategy and planning through to execution and reporting
- Deliver testing across ERP implementations and upgrades, with a strong focus on integrated Finance and Payroll solutions
- Work across Oracle Cloud programmes while applying transferable best practices from other Tier 1 ERP environments
- Lead hybrid teams of consultants, client stakeholders, and third-party partners
- Drive quality, governance, and continuous improvement across delivery
Key Responsibilities
You will:
- Define and deliver test strategies, plans, and schedules aligned to programme timelines
- Manage end-to-end test execution, including SIT and UAT phases
- Oversee defect management, including triage and resolution coordination
- Lead testing across integrated ERP systems, ensuring upstream and downstream alignment
- Review all key test artefacts (scripts, logs, defects, and test summary reports)
- Coach teams on test design and scripting best practices
- Promote adoption of test automation approaches where appropriate
- Manage stakeholder engagement, including client communication, risks, and mitigation plans
- Ensure delivery aligns with Version 1 methodologies, standards, and governance
Additional Responsibilities
- Support and develop team capability through coaching and mentoring
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of ERP platforms and testing tools
- Track delivery performance against KPIs and quality metrics
- Contribute to high levels of customer satisfaction
- Ensure all delivery aligns with recognised project methodologies
Qualifications
Experience & Skills
You will have:
- Proven experience as a Test Manager within enterprise ERP programmes
- Strong preference for Oracle ERP Cloud, including implementation or upgrade experience
- Alternatively, deep experience with other Tier 1 ERP platforms (e.g. SAP, Workday, Microsoft Dynamics), particularly across Finance and Payroll processes
- Experience delivering at least one full end-to-end ERP implementation lifecycle
- Strong expertise in test management, defect management, and governance frameworks
- Ability to manage complex, integrated system landscapes
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
- Organised, methodical, and detail-oriented approach
- Experience working in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments
- Exposure to test automation tools and frameworks is advantageous
Ready to Apply?
