The Opportunity


A large enterprise organisation is seeking an experienced Programme Test Lead to support a major Workday transformation programme.


You will take end-to-end ownership of the programme’s testing strategy, planning, governance and delivery. This will include ensuring that business processes, integrations, data migration, security and reporting are fully tested ahead of a successful go-live.


Acting as the central point of coordination, you will work closely with the internal Programme Team, System Integrator, Workday specialists, business stakeholders and third-party vendors. You will provide independent assurance around solution quality, programme readiness and testing risks.

  • Coordinate system, integration, regression, data migration and user acceptance testing.


  • Manage testing dependencies across Finance, Procurement, IT and wider business functions.


  • Oversee defect management, reporting, prioritisation and resolution.


  • Coordinate internal teams, implementation partners and third-party suppliers.


  • Provide clear reporting on testing progress, quality, risks and go-live readiness.


  • Ensure appropriate test evidence, controls and documentation are maintained.


  • Support business stakeholders throughout UAT and operational-readiness activities.



Essential Experience



  • Previous experience as a Programme Test Lead, Test Manager or similar.


  • Strong experience leading testing for a large, multi-module enterprise system deployment.


  • Workday implementation or transformation experience is highly desirable.


  • Good understanding of Finance and Procurement processes or systems.


  • Experience managing testing across integrations, data migration, security and reporting.


  • Strong stakeholder-management experience across multiple business functions.


  • Experience working with system integrators and third-party vendors.


  • Excellent planning, governance, risk-management and communication skills.



This is an excellent opportunity to play a leading role in a high-profile enterprise transformation programme within a large Belfast-based organisation.
