Role Description:

The Test Coordinator will be responsible for defining, coordinating, and ensuring the execution of all testing activities within a large-scale remediation program.

  • Align with stream leads and solution designers to understand the testing impact of changes.
  • Organize daily/weekly test status meetings and report on progress and blockers.
• Test Execution & Deliverables:
  • Ensure complete, repeatable, and well-documented test cases.
  • Coordinate test data provisioning (synthetic, scrambled, or production-derived data).
  • Ensure test results are fully traceable to requirements, design artifacts, and regulatory findings.
  • Manage the defect lifecycle: logging, prioritization, follow-up, and regression testing.
• Quality & Risk Management:
  • Identify testing gaps and risks (e.g., missing test data, incomplete interfaces).
  • Provide go/no-go recommendations for progression to the next test phase or production.
  • Ensure documentation complies with audit, compliance, and regulatory standards.
• Stakeholder Management:
  • Act as the central point of contact for all test-related matters.

Required Competencies:

• Professional Skills:
  • Strong experience in complex, transversal IT and business programs.
  • In-depth knowledge of testing methodologies.
  • Experience with regulatory remediation, audit, and compliance initiatives.
  • Knowledge of data validation, reconciliations, integration testing, and end-to-end chain testing.
  • Experience with defect management tools (e.g., JIRA), test management tools, and test data management.
• Personal Skills:
  • Excellent coordination and communication skills.
  • Strong problem-solving mindset.
  • Stress-resilient, structured, and quality-driven.
  • Ability to think transversally, combining helicopter view with attention to detail.
