Workday Test Lead

UK Remote

6 Months Contract Inside IR35

A global consultancy firm is looking for an experienced Workday Test Lead to steer a major large-scale international transformation.

This is a traditional, strategic leadership position. You will not be executing manual scripts; instead, you will have complete ownership of the end-to-end testing lifecycle. Stepping in during the critical Design Phase, your primary focus will be defining the overarching test strategy, structuring detailed master test plans, and managing program-wide coordination.

You will work closely with the client-side Program Director to ensure seamless delivery across a complex multi-vendor landscape. While you will be supported by a dedicated Test Coordinator, your broader responsibility will involve mobilising and orchestrating a large network of business testers and subject matter experts across multiple countries.

Key Responsibilities

Architect and deliver robust test strategies and detailed planning frameworks tailored for a global footprint.
Take end-to-end accountability for testing quality gates, including Configuration Unit Testing, System Integration Testing (SIT), E2E, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and Performance Testing.
Bridge the gap between IT, system integration partners, and business functions to manage dependencies and defect triage.
Define who is testing and what they are testing, coaching non-technical business users to ensure high-quality readiness reviews.

Essential Skills

prior experience of working on a large global workday implementation project
HCM, Absence and Talent Performance, Compensation and Advanced Compensation
Data & Connectivity: Reporting, Prism Analytics, and complex downstream Integrations.

This is a high-visibility mandate where you can shape the governance of a major global platform rollout from the ground up. If you are a strategic Test Manager or Lead who excels at turning design workbooks into structured, flawless testing execution, we want to hear from you.
