Test Lead

A South West food and ecommerce business (1,000+ co-owners, B Corp, genuinely values‑led) is going through a major ERP transformation and needs someone to own the testing piece end‑to‑end. There's no strategy, no automation framework, no playbook. You'd be building it.

It's a 50/50 role. Half hands‑on testing across the ERP rollout and wider enterprise systems. Half defining how testing actually gets done at the business going forward, working with software engineers to embed it as a discipline rather than a tick‑box at the end.

You’ll report into the Director of Enterprise Solutions and work directly with a hiring manager who knows exactly what good looks like and wants someone he can build alongside.

• Owning the test strategy across ERP integrations, platform development, and system changes
• Hands‑on testing with a strong focus on API and integration testing
• Building a pragmatic automation approach from scratch
• Influencing engineers and stakeholders to make quality a shared responsibility
• Coordinating release validation and performance testing across the programme

• Experience leading or owning testing on enterprise systems
• Strong API and integration testing background
• Some exposure to ERP or large transformation programmes
• The personality to win people over in a business where everyone has a voice

• Genuine ownership, you’re defining how this works, not inheriting someone otherwise’s setup
• Employee‑owned, so you’d be a co‑owner with actual influence
• Hybrid, with weekly presence at their Devon HQ (ideal if you’re between Exeter and Plymouth, or nearby)
• 33 days holiday, tax‑free profit share, EV salary sacrifice, 30% off product
• B Corp, recently ranked 53rd in the UK’s Top 100 Best Companies to Work For
