Looking for your next big challenge in the reinsurance space?

We are partnering with a global financial services leader in London to find a Program Test Manager for a pivotal 6-month contract.

What You'll Be Doing:

Owning Quality Gateways: Leading end-to-end test assurance across complex business journeys, data integrations, and system rollouts to ensure seamless operational readiness.

Steering Decision-Making: Translating testing metrics and residual risks into clear, actionable decision points for executive stakeholders.

Leading Distributed Teams: Coordinating internal project teams, offshore testers, and third-party vendors across hybrid, Agile, and Waterfall setups.

Managing Complex Data: Ensuring robust test coverage across data warehousing systems, underwriting platforms, and strict control frameworks.
What We're Looking For:

Financial Services Expertise: Deep testing leadership experience within Insurance, Reinsurance, or Pensions/Retirement.

Data & Integration Savvy: Solid understanding of data streams, integrations, and business process testing (bonus points if you know your way around APIs, actuarial systems, or tools like Jira/Zephyr).

Supplier & Offshore Leadership: Proven track record holding external partners accountable while mentoring distributed test teams.

Strong Stakeholder Presence: The confidence to provide constructive challenge and give clear go/no-go recommendations.
Role Details:

Location: Hybrid (Central London office 2-3 days a week )

Duration: 6-Month Contract (Starting October 2026)
