Not eligible for visa sponsorship This role serves as the holistic end-to-end testing quarterback for a large-scale digital transformation, coordinating testing strategy across multiple technology teams and systems to ensure full business-process coverage ahead of a major go-live. Job Summary Lead end-to-end testing strategy across new, legacy, and emerging systems, ensuring holistic coverage across all workstreams rather than validating each system in isolation. Facilitate the development of cross-system test cases and real-life business scenarios, such as order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, spanning all connected platforms. Identify and close gaps at handoffs between teams where individual system testing passes but cross-system integration has not been validated.

Challenge teams on the thoroughness of their test coverage and push back when scenarios are insufficient or incomplete. Coordinate overall testing readiness and progress leading up to the go-live milestone, escalating risks and blockers as needed. Influence stakeholders and technical teams across the organization without holding direct reports, relying on communication and credibility to drive alignment.

Minimum Requirements:

Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end testing across complex, multi-system environments that include legacy systems, not limited to testing within a single ERP platform. Strong working knowledge of order-to-cash and procure-to-pay business processes, with the ability to guide teams in defining cross-system test scenarios. Senior-level background in a testing leadership role such as Director of Testing, Director of QA, or Testing Manager. Familiarity with large-scale transformation programs where multiple technology workstreams are running simultaneously toward a single go-live. Proven ability to influence and align multiple teams without direct reporting authority, with strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with Manhattan WMS or OMS testing in a large-scale implementation environment. Background in the distribution industry, such as wholesale or food distribution. ERP implementation testing experience across platforms such as Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or SAP, combined with multi-system integration testing.
