Lead portfolio-level planning across test demand, resources, environments, data and dependencies.
Set the automation roadmap for Copado Robotic Testing, API, integration and data assurance.
Provide evidence‑based recommendations through governance, release‑readiness and risk forums.

So that

Testing is consistent, auditable and aligned to customer, regulatory and delivery risk.

Concurrent initiatives have credible plans, clear priorities and the right capability at the right time.

Automation investment improves speed, reliability, coverage and release confidence.

Senior stakeholders can make clear, accountable decisions on quality and residual risk.

Quality is embedded earlier and cross‑team constraints are resolved transparently.

The practice builds an inclusive, accountable and sustainable pipeline of testing capability.

Why this role matters

Technology & Change is a strategic priority for Vanquis. This role is central to release confidence and production quality, ensuring risks are identified, evidenced and managed before change reaches customers and colleagues.

You’ll work closely with product, engineering, architecture, delivery, operations, risk, security, data and business teams, translating technical quality evidence into clear decisions and accountable residual‑risk recommendations.

Quality built in
