Collaborate with test analysts, product teams and user-centred design colleagues to cover complex business scenarios and user needs through automated and exploratory testing.
Perform system testing (ST) and system integration testing (SIT) using automation.
Prioritise competing demands and workstreams to meet fixed deadlines, escalating delivery and quality risks when necessary.
