Test Analyst

At Klipboard, we’ve introduced a flexible hybrid work policy, where employees spend three days in the office and two days working from home. This approach promotes a balanced work environment that combines office collaboration with the comfort and convenience of remote work.

Klipboard provides specialist software, services and support to deliver fully integrated trading and business management solutions to companies in the distributive trade – wherever they are in the world. With a unique depth of knowledge and experience in ERP / SaaS solutions, Klipboard serves a wide range of clients including wholesalers, distributors, merchants and retailers from small traders to multinational enterprises.

Klipboard has offices in the UK, Ireland, The Netherlands, South Africa, Kenya and North America. Our mission is simple: to design and deliver high-performance, integrated ERP solutions that enable our distributive trade customers to source effectively, stock efficiently, sell profitably and serve competitively.

Typically working within a test team but sometimes required to take sole responsibility for all aspects of testing, the Test Analyst will work with development teams, project managers, end users and other groups to ensure that all criteria of testing are fulfilled. The role may involve gathering requirements, generating test cases and test plans, integrating with software components and providing feedback to both the test organisation and other teams.

Maintaining rigorous compliance with project deliverables and industry standards is a prized asset.
