Requirements
Must:
To succeed in this role, I am looking for someone with a strong background in application support and software testing, ideally gained within a secure or highly regulated environment. Experience in testing web-based systems, writing detailed test cases, and running SQL diagnostic queries is key. You need to be able to assess and resolve incidents independently and communicate progress effectively to stakeholders.
I am seeking a candidate with leadership potential — you may already have experience managing small teams or have supported/mentored junior colleagues. This role will require you to coordinate team efforts and take ownership of testing activities and support outcomes. A proactive attitude, confidence in decision-making, and a structured approach will help you thrive. Candidates must be UK nationals and either already hold SC clearance or be eligible and willing to undergo vetting. Training to support any development areas will be provided to help you grow in this role and beyond.
Responsibilities
As a Test Lead, you will play a vital role in supporting and testing a secure, enterprise-grade web-based application used within a mission-critical environment. This is a hands-on role that blends technical testing with team leadership responsibilities. You will be accountable for logging and managing incidents, ensuring service level agreements are met, and maintaining application quality through structured test processes.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Logging and managing customer-reported incidents and tracking them to resolution
- Writing and executing test scripts for new application versions
- Creating and running SQL diagnostic scripts to assist with troubleshooting
- Monitoring support KPIs and driving incident resolution
- Leading and mentoring a small team of support/test engineers
- Working five days a week onsite in our Reading office in a secure environment
