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.
