Overview: Computer Futures are supporting a key customer to bolster their rollout of a complex incentive management system that seeks to optimise their sales and finance operations across multiple European offices. We are seeking a proactive and hands-on Test Lead to ensure readiness for go-live by coordinating with business and project stakeholders, leading on testing strategy, communications and plan, and supporting hands-on with local offices. The system is designed of two main components, data management and incentive management. As a system that supports commercial enterprise, it is comprised of complex calculations, data extractions and transfers by APIs. The rollout is European wide and strives for standardisation, although there will be nuance to each region. The requirement here is for the successful consultant to support the testing of data solutions rather than interfaces.
