Christy Media Solutions is recruiting a Test Manager on behalf of our client to support a major London broadcast-infrastructure relocation and migration programme. This is a hands-on Test Management role covering complex broadcast, IP/network and data-centre infrastructure. It is particularly suited to someone who combines strong test governance and programme coordination skills with enough broadcast and infrastructure knowledge to work effectively with technical engineers and SMEs.
The role
You will take responsibility for planning, coordinating and executing testing activities across the programme, including:
- Developing and maintaining the overall test strategy, test plans, schedules and test-management documentation
- Developing and coordinating executable test cases and scenarios
- Coordinating testing across project, engineering, operations, supplier and SME teams
- Leading functional, performance and integration testing
- Supporting SIT and UAT/Operational Acceptance activities
- Managing defects and issues through to resolution
- Conducting risk assessments and establishing mitigation plans
- Producing status and test-summary reporting
- Providing Go/No-Go recommendations
- Driving the programme towards Operational Acceptance
What we're looking for
Candidates should bring:
- Test Management experience
- Strong test strategy and planning expertise
- Experience managing structured testing across complex infrastructure
- Strong knowledge of testing methodologies and project management
- Broadcast operations knowledge
- Experience of risk and defect management
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, leadership and problem-solving skills
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or a related discipline
- Experience within broadcast/media infrastructure, data-centre migration, network infrastructure or systems integration environments is particularly relevant.
- Experience with Xray for Jira and Jira is highly desirable.
- Useful technical exposure can include IP networking, MCR environments, SMPTE 2110, Nevion VideoIPath/iPath, TAG Multiviewer, Cisco, OTN, fibre connectivity and carrier circuits.
- ISTQB, PMP or equivalent certifications are preferred.
This is not primarily a software/application QA position. The requirement is for someone who can manage a formal end-to-end testing programme across physical broadcast and infrastructure environments while coordinating the relevant technical specialists.
