About Scrumconnect Consulting

Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy whose work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens. We deliver impactful technology solutions across UK government departments, working at the forefront of user-centred design, agile delivery, and scalable digital services that genuinely make a difference.

Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates
Strong focus on work-life balance with a flexible hybrid model (3 days onsite)
Be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary agile environment alongside civil servants and industry experts

Based in Swansea, South Wales - three days per week on-site

Role Overview

We are looking for a Test Lead/Test Manager to own and shape the quality strategy for digital services delivered to a UK government client. You will lead testing across one or more multi-disciplinary teams operating in a hybrid estate of modern cloud-native services and established Legacy platforms, including Mainframe integrations.

This role combines hands-on test leadership with strategic quality ownership. You will operate within structured and governed environments where reliability, security, accessibility, and compliance are critical to service success, and you will be a key voice in go/no-go release decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Define and own the overall test strategy and approach across services built in Java Spring Boot, AWS Serverless (Lambda/Node.js), Ruby on Rails with React, and Legacy Mainframe systems
Lead, mentor, and coach testers working within one or more multi-disciplinary teams (MTD)
Plan and coordinate functional, integration, regression, performance, accessibility, and security testing across the delivery lifecycle
Establish quality metrics, reporting, and dashboards to give delivery and government stakeholders clear visibility of risk
Drive a shift-left approach, embedding testing into design, refinement, and CI/CD pipelines
Own end-to-end test environments, test data strategy, and integration testing across modern and Legacy components
Lead defect triage, root cause analysis, and quality improvement initiatives
Contribute to release planning, go/no-go decisions, and operational acceptance criteria for live services
Ensure services meet WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards, GDS service standards, and security assurance requirements
Engage with security, architecture, product, and delivery leads to balance quality, risk, and pace

Essential Skills & Experience

Strong experience leading testing across complex, multi-team digital programmes
Demonstrable experience defining test strategies that span modern (microservice, serverless, web) and Legacy (mainframe, monolithic) systems
Hands-on experience with test automation frameworks across API, UI, and service layers (eg RestAssured, Postman/Newman, Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, JUnit, Jest)
Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI)
Strong understanding of non-functional testing including performance, resilience, and security testing approaches
Solid grasp of accessibility testing (WCAG 2.2) and assistive technology validation
Experience with test management and defect tracking tools (eg Jira, Zephyr, TestRail, Azure DevOps)
Experience leading testers in Agile or hybrid delivery models (Scrum, Kanban)
Experience working in regulated, security-conscious, or high-assurance environments
Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate quality risk to senior stakeholders
Experience delivering testing within a UK public-sector or government context
Familiarity with GDS service standards, the Technology Code of Practice, and the GOV.UK Design System

Desirable

Experience testing Mainframe integrations or coordinating testing across Legacy modernisation programmes
Experience supporting services through GDS Alpha, Beta, and Live assessments
ISTQB Advanced, ISTQB Test Manager, or equivalent professional certification
Experience with contract testing (eg Pact) and chaos/resilience testing tooling
Experience building or scaling testing communities of practice

What we offer

Competitive salary with annual review
Company pension scheme
Generous annual leave entitlement
Critical illness cover
Relocation support of £3,000 - £5,000
Visa sponsorship for eligible candidates
Access to learning and development resources
A supportive, inclusive working environment

Following an initial CV review, successful candidates will be invited to a short screening call with our recruitment team, followed by a two-stage process comprising a technical assessment and a values-based interview with the hiring team.
