We are seeking an experienced Test Lead to drive quality assurance across a complex, multi-vendor CDR (Consumer Data Right) programme. You will act as both test manager and hands‐on coordinator, owning end‐to‐end test strategy across data, API, functional, and automation workstreams. This is a high‐visibility role operating at the intersection of regulatory compliance, data platform modernisation, and vendor integration.
Key Responsibilities Test Management & Coordination
* Lead and coordinate testing activities across multiple vendors and internal teams
* Develop and maintain the overall test strategy, plan, and schedule
* Track defects, manage risk, and report test progress to senior stakeholders
* Facilitate test planning ceremonies, defect triage, and sign‐off processes
* Act as the primary point of contact for quality assurance across the programme
Data Testing
* Design and execute validation for the new Operational Data Store (ODS)
* Verify data integrity and completeness across integrated source systems (CRM, MPED, etc.)
* Validate data transformation and loading pipelines into Snowflake
* Ensure CDR vendor data consumption aligns with ODS output specifications
API Testing
* Validate CDR‐compliant APIs against regulatory standards and data holder obligations
* Design API test suites covering functional, negative, boundary, and security scenarios
* Coordinate API testing with CDR vendors and third‐party data recipients
Functional & Regression Testing
* Lead functional testing across CDR consumer experience and consent management flows
* Oversee end‐to‐end regression cycles in collaboration with vendor QA teams
* Validate compliance with ACCC/DSB CDR standards and Rules
Automation
* Guide and review automation efforts using Playwright (UI) and API automation frameworks
* There will be a separate Automation Engineer who will join later under the lead along with a manual/squad tester
Skills & Experience
* 5+ years in a QA/Test Lead or Test Manager role on complex, enterprise programmes
* Proven experience leading multi‐vendor testing engagements
* Strong expertise in data testing — data validation, reconciliation, pipeline testing
* Experience with automation frameworks — Playwright and/or API automation tools
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
* Ability to produce clear, concise test documentation (strategies, plans, reports)
Highly Desirable
* CDR / Open Banking implementation experience (data holder or recipient side)
* Experience with Snowflake or similar cloud data platforms
* Familiarity with data integration patterns (ETL/ELT, CDC, API‐based ingestion)
* Understanding of CRM and MPED data structures
* Experience in regulated financial services or banking environments
Practical Fallback Profile
Candidates without direct CDR experience will be considered where they demonstrate:
* Strong data and QA testing capability with financial services domain exposure
* Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn regulatory or standards‐driven frameworks
* Solid understanding of data platform validation and integration testing
