This is a hands-on leadership role requiring someone who can hit the ground running. You will be responsible for ensuring the migration is delivered accurately, to a high standard, and on schedule.Key Responsibilities
  • Define and manage the end-to-end test approach for the PLM migration, including plans, strategy, entry/exit criteria, and test environments.
  • Drive improvements to the current testing process, streamlining workflows and enhancing quality.
  • Provide oversight of test execution (coordination, tracking, defect triage, reporting) - you won't be executing tests yourself, but you'll ensure they're done to a high standard.
  • Lead data validation activities to ensure migration accuracy, integrity, and completeness.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver testing milestones on time and to budget.
  • Report status, risks, and issues to leadership, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Required Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience in test management with a strong grasp of best practices in test strategy and execution oversight.
  • Background in hands-on testing (past experience) to understand what "good" looks like.
  • Track record in project delivery, ideally in data-heavy environments such as migrations or integrations.
  • Strong systems experience; familiarity with PLM migrations a plus.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
Nice to Have
  • Experience with Oracle Agile PLM.
  • Prior ownership of test tooling, automation strategy, or environment management.
