We are seeking an experienced ERP Test Lead to support the delivery of a major ERP implementation. Working alongside the Programme Test Manager, you will play a key role in coordinating and delivering testing activities across the full test lifecycle — not just UAT.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in complex ERP environments, enjoys working closely with business stakeholders and functional SMEs, and can provide structured, hands-on leadership across System, Integration and End-to-End testing phases.

The Role
As ERP Test Lead, you will support the Test Manager in planning, coordinating and assuring all testing activities across the programme. You will work across functional workstreams, integrations, reporting and data migration to ensure the Infor solution is robust, fit for purpose and ready for deployment.
You will act as a key point of coordination between business SMEs, technical teams, project managers and programme leadership to ensure structured, traceable and risk-based testing is delivered.

Key Responsibilities
Test Planning & Governance
• Support the Test Manager in developing and maintaining detailed ERP Test Plans and Schedules.
• Assist in defining scope across Infor modules, integrations and business processes.
• Contribute to phase entry and exit criteria for System Integration Testing (SIT), End-to-End (E2E) testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Provide structured status reporting, highlighting progress, risks and defect trends.
Requirements & Design Assurance
• Conduct static reviews of requirements and solution designs to ensure clarity and testability.
• Validate coverage of business requirements across configured Infor modules.
• Collaborate with project teams to define clear, testable acceptance criteria for functional and non-functional requirements.
Test Design & Coordination
• Support the creation and quality assurance of detailed test scenarios and scripts.
• Ensure end-to-end business process coverage across workstreams.
• Coordinate integration testing between Infor and third-party systems.
• Support validation of data migration and reporting outputs.
• Oversee defect management activities, ensuring timely triage and resolution tracking.
Business & Stakeholder Engagement
• Work closely with SMEs to prepare for and execute test cycles.
• Provide guidance and structure to business users during test execution.
• Facilitate defect review discussions and support impact analysis.
• Participate actively in project stand-ups, planning sessions and reviews.
