The Candidate:
Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Software Assurance Consultant to conduct an independent, end-to-end review of their software development life cycle, development governance and AI-assisted engineering practices.
This is a hands-on assurance role requiring someone who can independently assess the effectiveness of software delivery controls, validate automated testing and code review processes, and identify opportunities to strengthen security, quality and operational governance. Working onsite with the development team, you'll provide an objective assessment of existing practices and deliver clear, prioritised recommendations to senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct an independent review of the end-to-end software development life cycle, including development methodology, governance and delivery processes.
• Assess code review practices, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines and release sign-off controls.
• Validate that automated controls are functioning effectively through hands-on testing rather than documentation review...
