Testing Strategy & Global Governance (AI-Enabled) ▪ Own global testing strategy across all testing phases. ▪ Maintain AI-enhanced templates, playbooks, and ADO structures. ▪ Improve the framework using AI release insights. Regional Enablement – Regions Execute, You Govern & Guide ▪ Provide AI-supported guidance and readiness standards. ▪ Support regions during SIT/UAT/OAT and ensure adoption of automation where valuable. Regression Testing Ownership – AI-Powered Two-Layer Model ▪ Govern Global Regression (RT1) and support Regional Regression (RT2). ▪ Expand automated regression coverage. ▪ Use AI analytics to maintain and optimise the regression suite.

What you will bring ▪ 10+ years of ERP testing leadership in large, global, multi-region programmes (ideally D365 F&O), with strong command of SAT, SIT, UAT, OAT and Regression cycles. ▪ Extensive experience overseeing testing in highly integrated environments and driving risk management, dependency control, and issue resolution. ▪ A strong automation background, with hands-on experience using Lidana (or similar test scripting tools) and Tosca (or equivalent test execution tools) to accelerate test preparation, expand automation coverage, and validate Platform Updates. ▪ Demonstrated ability to embed automated tests into CI/CD, scale automation release-over- release, and foster an efficiency-focused testing culture. ▪ Strong communication, stakeholder management, and organisational skills, able to lead multiple testing cycles in fast-paced global environments. ▪ A continuous-improvement and analytical mindset, with focus on AI adoption, automation expansion, and quality-driven delivery. ▪ Professional certifications such as Prince2 Practitioner or PMP, with fluency in English (French is an advantage).
