Project Manager - Testing & Delivery

This is a dual-impact role for someone who can lead projects and bring strong testing expertise to complex delivery environments. As a Project Manager - Testing & Delivery, you'll lead end-to-end delivery on your own projects while providing testing leadership across programs where it is most needed.

This is a maximum 24-month term contract, offering a unique opportunity to make a significant impact during our transformation journey.

You'll own the test strategy, scenario design, defect governance and go-live readiness, embedding best-practice testing approaches into the way EPMO projects are delivered. You'll also manage your own project portfolio, giving you a practical understanding of what it takes to make frameworks and processes effective in the real world, not just on paper.

You're the kind of person who can establish a test strategy, build scenario tracking and stage-gate frameworks from the ground up, then coach and support Project Managers to adopt and apply them successfully. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Enterprise Delivery & PMO, you'll be part of a talented team turning strategy into reality through customer-focused delivery and fit-for-purpose governance.

Experience in the Telco or Utilities sector is strongly preferred, as you'll be operating in a complex regulatory and integration environment where industry knowledge will help you make an immediate impact.

End-to-End Project Delivery

• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders from exec sponsors to external delivery partners

Test Strategy Leadership

• Define testing framework from scratch - the standards, processes, and methodology that will be adopted across all EPMO projects and used by every PM in EPMO
• Lead the quality conversation - not just what to test, but how, when, and why
• Champion test automation and work with engineering leads to grow automation coverage and maturity
• Define and enforce quality gates at key delivery milestones

Delivery Planning

• Partner with business and technology leaders to turn projects into executable plans with quality criteria defined from day one
• Understand business drivers and how your scope impacts revenue, cost, customer experience, or risk
