• Develop comprehensive test plans and scenarios covering standard use, data migration, invalid data, high-volume conditions, and integrations; perform acceptance testing, validate results, and verify corrected defects.

• Lead functional readiness for User Acceptance Testing, releases, deployments, customer demonstrations, user training, and post-go-live support; proactively identify and address readiness risks.

• Investigate escalated support issues and contribute to root-cause analysis; maintain product, process, and support documentation; and identify opportunities for product improvement, process consistency, and continuous improvement.

• Demonstrated ability to lead the requirements lifecycle from discovery through design, development, testing, and release, translating business needs into clear technical user stories with acceptance criteria, process flows, and mockups or wireframes.

• Experience working directly with developers, quality teams, and business users, including coordinating acceptance testing, resolving requirement questions, and validating delivered functionality.

• Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure large amounts of information, decompose complex systems and processes, and identify dependencies, risks, and practical tradeoffs.

• Strong written and verbal communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills in English, including the ability to influence decisions and build constructive relationships across business and technical teams.

• Ability to work independently, manage multiple high-priority initiatives, navigate ambiguity, adhere to designated priorities, and provide functional guidance or peer review to other team members.

• Quality-focused mindset, curiosity, and the ability to model user behavior, identify application flaws, and learn new business and technical concepts quickly.
