Test Manager role at Guillaume Masson

We're looking for an experienced Contract Test Manager to lead a step‑change in test automation and quality across a complex, private health platform that is heavily integrated with NHS systems. Recent incidents have highlighted the need for a stronger test strategy, automation, and cross‑team ownership. This role will define the direction, deliver tangible automation outcomes, and embed sustainable quality practices across internal teams and third‑party suppliers.

• Own and deliver a modern test strategy covering functional, integration, regression, and non‑functional testing.
• Select and implement test automation tools suited to healthcare integration and messaging environments.
• Build a first‑of‑type automated test pack for critical HL7, FHIR, API, and messaging flows.
• Work closely with internal engineering teams and third‑party development partners to embed quality throughout the SDLC.
• Establish clear processes for test management, reporting, environment parity, and release confidence.
• Mentor and upskill testers, analysts, and developers to leave lasting internal capability.
• Act as a senior stakeholder interface, translating risk and quality into clear business outcomes.

• Proven experience as an Engineering Manager, Test Manager, or Senior Lead in complex or regulated environments.
• Strong background in test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and tool selection (Azure Dev Ops preferred).
• Hands‑on experience with integration testing (APIs, messaging, HL7, FHIR).
• Confident working across in‑house teams and third‑party vendors, driving shared ownership and standards.
• Excellent communicator who can bridge technical detail and senior stakeholders.
• NHS / healthcare / regulated domain experience.
• Familiarity with clinical safety standards and interoperability.
• Experience improving fragmented or manual testing estates.
• Rates depend on experience and client requirements.
