Strong skills in developing metrics, dashboards and professional presentations are essential.
Skills:
- Strong knowledge of software and systems testing processes and tools.
- Understanding of both agile and waterfall methodologies and specifically the testing aspects of these methodologies.
- Ability to develop, interpret, and present metrics and KPI dashboards.
- Solid understanding of software integration principles and dependencies.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead discussions on complex or sensitive matters.
- High attention to detail and process discipline.
- Ability to identify areas of weakness and where help is needed.
- Experience working within structured project governance frameworks (e.g., PMO, programme teams).
- Ability to maintain and update issue registers and tracking systems with accuracy and rigour.
- Ability to facilitate regular issue review meetings, ensuring clear ownership and timely follow‑up.
- Understanding of JIRA and Tableau would be desirable, but not essential.
