Specialist, Testing (QA / Tester) — IAG, Pricing Systems

Sydney or Melbourne (Hybrid) | 6-month contract, ASAP start

About the role

At IAG, the purpose is to make the world a safer place — customer led, data driven, and focused on enabling the communities and people they serve to be safer, stronger and more confident. This role's unique contribution is to efficiently provide insight into the quality of the Consumer Lines Pricing (CLP) product at any given point in time.

This is a mid-level engagement, split roughly evenly between manual and automation testing. You'll carry a genuine manual testing workload alongside contributing to, running, and extending the team's automation coverage. It suits someone comfortable building on an established test practice day-to-day, rather than someone whose background is purely in designing automation architecture from a blank slate.
