Test Planning, Execution & Script Management

• Ensure strict 100% requirements-to-test traceability across Oracle Finance, Procurement, Inventory, banking integrations, and security workflows.
• Oversee the development of scenario-based scripts, data prerequisites, and execution schedules.

Defect Management & Executive Quality Control

• Establish and enforce strict defect logging, triage, severity classification, and closure standards.
• Lead cross-functional defect triage sessions, actively monitoring defect aging, regression impacts, and critical blockers.
• Deliver real-time executive dashboards, QA metrics, risk assessments, and data-backed go/no-go recommendations.

Stakeholder Empowerment & Go-Live Sign-Off

• Serve as the central conductor uniting Shared Services, country offices, business units, Treasury, technical leads, and third-party vendors.
• Coach, enable, and guide business testers on execution, defect reporting, and evidence capture.
• Consolidate formal sign-offs, document residual risks, conduct post-testing retrospective lessons learned, and present final deployment recommendations.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of enterprise application/ERP testing experience, including 3+ years leading testing for Oracle Cloud or large-scale ERP implementations.
