About this role
Job Requirements
We are looking for an experienced Test Manager with Test Architecture responsibilities. The role combines approximately Test Management and overall project test ownership with technical leadership.
The role is the single point of accountability for planning, coordinating, driving, monitoring, evaluating, and reporting all testing required for the project across the complete product lifecycle. This includes testing performed by internal teams, development teams, distributed teams, suppliers, and external validation partners.
The role will establish and govern an effective overall test approach, including appropriate use of test architecture, testability, automation, infrastructure, tools, continuous integration, and LLM/GenAI-enabled testing practices. The successful candidate must demonstrate an AI-first mindset and the ability to apply AI responsibly to increase testing efficiency, coverage, traceability, and decision quality.
Key Responsibilities
Test Management and Overall Project Test Ownership
Own the overall project test strategy, Master Test Plan, test scope, test levels, coverage goals, completion criteria, and all project test deliverables.
Ensure the completeness, consistency, traceability, execution, evaluation, and reporting of all testing defined in the Master Test Plan.
Plan, coordinate, drive, and control all required testing across the product lifecycle, including software, integration, system, regression, and applicable functional and non-functional testing.
Plan and control test phases, resources, schedules, dependencies, environments,infrastructure, and regression activities.
Coordinate testing performed by internal teams, development teams, distributed teams, suppliers, and external validation partners.
Identify testing risks early; defi ne mitigation actions; continuously track risks, dependencies, and issues; and escalate critical concerns.
Monitor test execution, coverage, defects, quality metrics, test effectiveness, and overall product or system quality.
Drive defect management and ensure appropriate resolution, retesting, impact assessment, and transparent quality evaluation.
Prepare the test evaluation summary and provide clear test status and quality reporting to project stakeholders and upper management.
Provide an evidence-based quality assessment and recommendation as an input to the project’s release decision.
Incorporate customer feedback, fi eld issues, and post-market learnings into test planning, validation scope, regression coverage, and continuous improvement activities.
Support regulatory audits and submissions by ensuring test evidence, traceability, quality metrics, test summaries, and release-readiness assessments are complete, consistent, and audit-ready.
Continuously improve test planning, governance, methods, metrics, and lifecycle integration.
Test Architecture and Technical Test Leadership
Define and continuously improve the test architecture, test infrastructure, testability
requirements, tools, and testing methods in alignment with project and quality goals.
Define and govern an appropriate test automation strategy and roadmap, including frameworks, reusable assets, coverage goals, configuration management, and CI/CD integration.
Evaluate and introduce suitable testing technologies, tools, frameworks, prototypes, and automation solutions.
Apply LLMs, GenAI, and other AI-based technologies where they add value to test planning, requirements analysis, test design, test-case generation, automation development, test-data preparation, defect and log analysis, regression selection, traceability, and reporting.
Establish suitable governance for AI-assisted testing, including review, traceability, quality control, and protection of project information.
Guide and coach test engineers, development teams, and architects on testability,
risk-based testing, automation, advanced testing topics, and responsible AI-assisted testing practices.
Measure and improve the effectiveness of the test strategy, test architecture, automation, and testing environment.
Required Qualifications & Skills
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Engineering, Mathematics, or a comparable technical discipline.
At least three years of relevant experience in software or system testing or development across the product lifecycle, with demonstrated experience leading or managing testing activities in a complex project environment.
Proven experience as a Test Manager or Test Lead with overall responsibility for project testing; experience as a Test Architect or in a comparable technical test leadership role is an advantage.
Strong knowledge of test strategy, Master Test Planning, estimation, resource and schedule planning, risk-based testing, test design, regression testing, defect management, metrics, traceability, and quality assessment.
Good understanding of software/system architecture, requirements engineering, testability, change-impact analysis, test infrastructure, and configuration management of test assets.
Proven ability to defi ne and govern an appropriate test automation strategy, including frameworks and CI/CD-based continuous testing.
Practical knowledge or experience applying LLMs, GenAI, or other AI-based technologies to test planning, test engineering, analysis, automation, or reporting, supported by an AI-first and continuous-learning mindset.
Strong analytical, decision-making, stakeholder-management, communication, coaching, and technical leadership skills.
Experience working with international, distributed, supplier, or outsourced testing
teams.
ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent testing knowledge and
experience.
Preferred / Added Advantage
ISTQB Advanced Level certification.
Experience with test-process assessment and continuous improvement.
Experience with advanced automation, testing infrastructure, and reusable test
assets.
Experience working in a healthcare business environment.
Depending on the project context, familiarity with applicable regulatory
requirements, healthcare IT standards such as DICOM or HL7, clinical workflows,
post-market surveillance inputs, and regulatory audit or submission expectations.
What We Are Looking For
A strong Project Test Manager who can take end-to-end ownership of all testing required
for the project and provide transparent, evidence-based quality assessments. The ideal
candidate combines disciplined execution and stakeholder leadership with sufficient
technical depth to shape test architecture, automation, and AI-enabled testing. Test
architecture, automation, and AI are enabling responsibilities; the primary purpose of the
role is to drive the complete project testing mandate.
