Home-based with occasional travel to sites

4-5 month contract

We are seeking an experienced Interim UAT Test Analyst / Test Manager to support a major international supply chain and transportation transformation programme, implementing a new 4PL and Transport Management System (TMS) solution across Europe.

The programme is entering a critical phase of its European rollout, covering the UK, France, Czech Republic and Netherlands. This phase involves coordinating multiple system integrations, carrier onboarding, operational process validation, user acceptance testing and go-live readiness activities.

This role is focused on coordinating testing activities across multiple partners, workstreams and business teams, ensuring testing is planned effectively, progress is tracked, issues are resolved and the business is ready for go-live. It is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong programme coordination, stakeholder management and logistics systems experience.

The Role

• Coordinate the end-to-end UAT plan, schedule and execution across multiple workstreams, partners and business functions.
• Develop and maintain the overall testing strategy, ensuring clear responsibilities, timelines, dependencies and acceptance criteria.
• Act as the central point of coordination between IT, Operations, system providers, integration partners, carriers and business SMEs.
• Monitor testing progress across all parties, maintaining clear reporting on completion rates, outstanding activities, risks and dependencies.
• Coordinate defect management, ensuring issues are logged, prioritised, assigned to the appropriate partner and progressed through to resolution.
• Facilitate regular testing governance meetings, driving accountability and ensuring blockers are escalated and addressed promptly.
• Coordinate operational validation and business sign-off across the UK, France, Czech Republic and Netherlands.
• Support go-live readiness assessments, cutover planning and initial post-go-live hypercare.
• Ensure testing activities remain aligned to the overall programme timeline and highlight risks that could impact a successful deployment.

About You

• Proven experience in UAT coordination, test management or testing governance within complex systems implementation programmes.
• Strong experience coordinating multiple external partners, system providers, technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Excellent planning, organisation and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive progress without necessarily undertaking hands-on testing.
• Experience managing testing schedules, dependencies, defect resolution and readiness reporting across multiple workstreams.
• Experience within supply chain, logistics, transportation or warehouse operations is essential, with transport management experience particularly desirable.
• Familiarity with TMS implementations, 4PL solutions, carrier integrations or wider logistics system implementations would be advantageous.
• A proactive, delivery-focused approach, with the confidence to challenge stakeholders, elevate risks and maintain momentum in a time-critical programme.
