Work closely with stakeholders to ensure full coverage of end-to-end customer journeys
Provide clear test reporting, risks,



and status updates to senior stakeholders

Robust retail domain experience (eCommerce, POS, loyalty, order management highly regarded)
Ability to operate in large, complex programs with multiple moving parts
Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills

The details:
6 month contract
Hybrid working, 2 days in office
