End -to -end testing manager, Transformation Program

Job Description:

• The client is seeking an end-to-end testing manager capable of governing the complete testing strategy for a transformation program, not a test case executor or a single-tool specialist.
  


• This is a leadership role: defining and governing the strategy, planning validation phases, coordinating dependencies between teams and suppliers, and producing progress and risk indicators for management. The recurring keywords (complete strategy, govern, coordinate, end-to-end, multi-system, multiple phases) indicate an expectation of seniority and decision-making autonomy rather than a production-oriented approach.
  


• The Salesforce and FNA environment and cross-functional integrations place this role within a CRM and distribution ecosystem: the candidate must understand these challenges without being a developer of these platforms.
  


• The multi-team, multi-supplier environment places the ability to coordinate and influence business and IT stakeholders at the heart of the profile.
