About this opportunity

Job description
Project Fixers delivers IT programs that are too important to fail.
You will lead the SIT and UAT cycles of a major ERP rollout — the stretch of the program where go-live dates are won or lost. You'll mobilize 20–30 testers (BAs and business SMEs), keep them moving every day with high-energy facilitation, and drive SI and engineering teams to triage and resolve what testing uncovers, all the way to go-live.
What You'll Be DoingOwn the test program end to end: strategy, plans, entry/exit criteria, environments and test data across SIT, UAT and regression cycles
Mobilize and lead 20–30 testers – BAs and business SMEs with day jobs – and secure the time commitments from their leaders
Run daily stand-ups and test war rooms; keep testers engaged, unblocked and on pace through long cycles
Lead daily defect triage with SI and engineering teams; separate true defects from configuration gaps, data issues and change requests, and drive each to resolution
Call schedule risk early, escalate what's stuck, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, including when the message is not easy
Assemble exit-criteria evidence, secure SIT/UAT sign-off, and give a clear go/no-go recommendation
What This Role Requires8+ years in QA, testing or delivery leadership, including leading SIT/UAT for at least two large ERP or CRM rollouts through go-live (SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Cloud, Workday, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Salesforce or similar)
Proven experience leading large groups of business testers – not just a team of professional QA engineers
High-energy, positive facilitation: the ability to run a tight, productive room every day for weeks
Experience driving defect resolution with system integrators and multiple technical teams, and holding partners to agreed turnaround times
Strong grasp of end-to-end business processes (order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, record-to-report) and how integrations and data conversion affect testing
Hands-on with test management tools such as Jira (Xray/Zephyr), Azure DevOps, ALM/Octane or SAP Cloud ALM
Strongly PreferredExperience leading test cycles on programs that were behind schedule or under heavy executive scrutiny
Data migration validation and mock-conversion testing
Background as a business analyst or functional consultant
Experience using AI tools as testing accelerators
This Role Is Not for EveryoneThis role is likely not a fit if:
Your testing experience is primarily with professional QA teams, not business users
You've managed test execution but haven't owned defect resolution with SIs and engineering
You prefer heads-down work over running a room all day
About Project FixersWe focus on delivery - not PMP theory. Project Fixers manages delivery of complex IT programs that involve major system implementations, integrations, and digital transformations. We are expert fixers who can put any IT project that's going sideways back on track.
