The role

You will ensure successful testing and quality assurance for the SAP S/4HANA rollout by owning test planning, progress and defect management across the programme, at the client — a leading international distributor of steel pipes, valves and fittings.

A success looks like stabilized test governance with clear pass/fail criteria met for all wholesale scenarios and a low post-go-live defect rate with stakeholder sign-off across markets.
