• Test Data Management: Write scripts and procedures to create and maintain testing data and environments.
• Strategic Planning: Develop master data test plans and independently schedule User Acceptance Testing (UAT) tasks and risk-based testing.
• Business Analysis: Interpret business requirements, gather requirements for enhancements, and translate them into actionable product features.
• Documentation: Maintain a robust study library for knowledge management; document business rules embedded in third-party utilities and data transformation processes.
• Process Improvement: Participate in business process redesign, assessing how system changes impact role modifications and overall workflow.
• Collaboration: Act as a bridge between technical teams, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and client-facing teams to ensure accurate production migrations.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ Years of experience in large enterprise environments (multi-million-dollar projects).
• 5+ Years of experience writing master data test plans and automated regression testing scripts.
• 5+ Years of experience with UAT scheduling and risk-based testing.
• 5+ Years of experience extracting/documenting business rules and data transformation elements.
• 5+ Years of proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (including Visio).
• 3+ Years of experience proposing solutions that cross multiple platforms and using third-party system utilities.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently with little supervision and communicate effectively with stakeholders.
