Overview
The D365 Programme is a multi-year global transformation programme in Finance & Operations. It implements Microsoft Dynamics 365 across regions to harmonise multiple regional ERPs while respecting divisional operating models. It will create a standardized, single global core ERP model based on the SaaS Microsoft D365 F&O platform. AI and intelligent automation are central to the testing and quality strategy, enabling faster test preparation, more predictable execution, higher coverage, and cost optimisation across global and regional deployments.
Role
We are seeking a forward-looking D365 Test Manager who will lead the Programme's global testing with a strong bias toward AI adoption, automation, and intelligent quality assurance. You will work closely with System Integrator (SI) partners who provide automation capabilities, including AI-driven script generation, automated execution, and accelerator-based testing services. You will ensure these partners deliver maximum value, quality, and efficiency—especially through automation that reduces manual effort and lowers testing cost. You will own the global testing framework, govern SAT and Regression Testing, and enable regions to execute SIT/UAT/OAT successfully while embedding AI into the testing lifecycle and identifying automation opportunities across scenarios, processes, and releases.
Impact and Objectives
- Establish an AI-first testing strategy for the Programme.
- Lead adoption of AI tools such as Lidana (AI-accelerated script generation) and Tosca (automated regression), plus AI copilots within ADO.
- Identify automation opportunities across global processes and expand automation coverage to reduce manual testing cycles and costs.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and use AI analytics to predict risks and improve quality outcomes.
Delivery Management
- Govern SAT and Global Regression Testing end-to-end.
- Align global teams and regions to AI-enhanced testing plans.
- Drive readiness across SAT → SIT → UAT → OAT → Go-Live.
- Use AI-augmented dashboards for visibility and forecasting.
Partner Management
- Collaborate with SI partners delivering automation-led scripting and execution services.
- Ensure partners maximise AI accelerators and automation toolkits.
- Challenge estimates and validate automation opportunities; drive accountability for quality, automation throughput, and SLA adherence.
Delivery Assurance & Quality Governance
- Maintain and evolve the global testing governance framework.
- Ensure AI-supported traceability and automated evidence.
- Monitor risks and defects with AI-generated insights.
Testing Strategy & Global Governance
- Own global testing strategy across all testing phases.
- Maintain AI-enhanced templates, playbooks, and ADO structures.
- Improve the framework using AI release insights.
Regional Enablement
- Provide AI-supported guidance and readiness standards to regions.
- Support regions during SIT/UAT/OAT and promote adoption of automation where valuable.
Regression Testing Ownership
- Govern Global Regression (RT1) and support Regional Regression (RT2).
- Expand automated regression coverage and use AI analytics to maintain and optimise the regression suite.
Test Automation
- Lead automation strategy and roadmap; scale automated regression for Platform Updates and global releases.
- Integrate automated tests into pipelines and increase automation coverage with each release.
Success Criteria
- Refined test strategy deployed; Quality Gates enforced; Test Coverage >= 100%; Defect Leakage.
