About the role

We are seeking a Test Lead with specialized FNZ Wealth Management experience to drive test strategy, planning, and execution for core platform upgrades and migrations. In this role, you will lead end-to-end testing strategies, manage platform releases and vendor integrations, and ensure the reliability of core wealth management workflows from account opening to settlement.

In this role, you will

Own test strategy, planning, and estimation for FNZ platform releases, configuration changes, and upgrade cycles.
Design end-to-end coverage across account opening, transfers (cash and in-specie), model portfolios and rebalancing, trading and settlement, corporate actions, income, valuations, fees, and client reporting.
Lead a squad of 3–8 QA analysts across functional, integration, regression, and UAT phases, including offshore and vendor test teams.
Review and extend automation (Playwright) and integrate test gates into CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitLab.
Test APIs and integrations with custodians, market data, payments, CRM, and document management using Postman, SoapUI, or REST Assured.
Act as QA point of contact with FNZ — track vendor defects, release notes, and config changes, and assess their impact on in-flight delivery.
Build and maintain the regression pack for upgrades, and decide what gets automated versus what stays manual.
Write strong SQL for reconciliations, migration and conversion testing, feed validation, and report output checks.
Run UAT with operations, adviser support, and front office — scripts, sessions, and sign-off.
Own defect triage and quality reporting to program and steering level, with a clear view of coverage, risk, and release readiness.
Keep test evidence audit-ready for internal audit, risk, and regulatory review (Consumer Duty, CASS, MiFID II, or local equivalents).
Bring demonstrable hands-on FNZ experience — at least one full implementation, migration, or major upgrade — plus solid wealth platform operations knowledge and Jira/Xray or ALM tooling.
