Test Manager bei Challenger Limited

Test Manager – Major Digital Uplift Programme – Permanent Opportunity  

• Own testing for a major digital uplift programme while shaping the future of our strategic initiatives and product rollouts. 

• You’ll lead a team, coordinate with partners, and keep everyone on track. This role makes testing central to delivering a critical programme, with a steady pipeline of future work 

• We offer a flexible hybrid model based out of our Martin Place, Sydney CBD office — typically 3 days in-office and 2 days from home. 

About the role 

We’re delivering a major digital uplift programme, and testing will be a key part of ensuring its success. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of the action – leading the test team, working with vendor partners, and keeping defects and risks carefully controlled so we can deliver with confidence. There’s also a longer-term pipeline of work, including strategic partnerships and new product rollouts, offering plenty of opportunity to make a lasting impact. 

What you’ll be doing 

• Leading and coaching a team of four testers – setting clear expectations and keeping them focused on daily output. 

• Running daily stand-ups, tracking progress, and stepping in where needed to keep momentum. 

• Ensuring test cases are written to a clear standard with defined outcomes. 

• Owning the defect management process – prioritising, tracking, and driving resolution, especially for high-priority issues. 

• Coordinating closely with our delivery partner Accenture, who complete initial system integration testing, and resolve any defects raised. 

• Using Jira day-to-day for test plans, cases, and defect tracking. 

• Managing stakeholder expectations across the business, providing clear updates, and highlighting risks and issues early. 

• Reporting progress and blockers up to senior leaders in a straightforward way. 

What you’ll bring 

• Strong experience as a Test Manager within large, complex change programmes (ideally in financial services).

•  Proven ability to lead a small team and get the best from them – hands-on, structured, and delivery-focused.

• Practical experience with Jira and test management tools.

• Solid defect management expertise, able to keep the team and vendors focused on priorities.

• Confidence working with external partners (e.g. Accenture), building effective relationships to deliver results.

• A clear communication style – able to engage testers, business stakeholders, and senior leaders alike.

• A resilient, roll-up-your-sleeves approach – willing to get into the detail when needed to keep delivery on track.
