This role involves structured, risk-based manual test execution across web and mobile applications, maintaining high quality standards in a regulated environment.

Responsibilities

• Execute manual test scripts across web portals and mobile apps (iOS and Android), covering functional, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Test core patient-facing workflows including account and participant sign-up, form/questionnaire creation and completion, data entry, diary-style logging, eligibility checks, and notification timing.

• Support localisation testing by validating translated content and locale-specific behaviour across multiple markets.
• Work with the discipline required in a regulated environment, ensuring documentation, evidence, and process are as important as finding bugs.
• Collaborate daily with developers and the wider distributed testing team, including overseas colleagues, to strengthen face-to-face teamwork.

• Strong attention to detail and a thorough, methodical approach to finding edge cases.
• Ability to write and execute structured test scripts/test cases; experience with Jira/Xray is a plus.
• Precise written communication skills for creating actionable bug reports.
• Good grasp of software testing fundamentals, including test design, coverage, regression vs. exploratory testing, and risk-based prioritisation.
• Comfortable working with multiple physical/virtual devices side by side during testing.
• Collaborative, team-first attitude, working closely with both testers and developers.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• experience in a regulated industry such as pharma, medical devices, healthcare, or financial services.
