Job Description
Job Purpose/Overview
As we work to transform and optimize, a new program has been mobilized by the leadership team. The program is focused on the design and implementation of SAP S/4HANA in across Segments (Petcare, Corporate, Snacking & Food). Much more than a simple “Lift and Shift,” this program will undertake a major process simplification and harmonization scope as we digitally transform our business.
The program will focus primarily on eight mega process areas: Finance, Source to Pay (procurement and vendor mgmt.), Plan to Fulfill (manufacturing and distribution), Lead to Cash (order processing and payment), Governance, Engage to Consume (marketing), Idea to Market (R&D), and Recruit to Retire (HR). This program requires a Technology and Transformation Team for delivering the technical foundations and operational readiness of the S/4HANA Transformation.
As part of the Transformation Team, the test workstream will deliver a robust best practice test service which will be scalable to meet the requirements of future deployments. This team will provide a robust strategy, governance, methodology, tooling and quality.
As part of this transformation, a new role has been created for a Senior Automation Test Lead. This role will be responsible for defining the automation vision, frameworks, and best practices to ensure high-quality, efficiencies, and scalable testing across complex enterprise landscapes.
Do you thrive working in the project environment? Do you have an understanding and experience of collaborating closely with program leadership, business stakeholders, internal and external Testing Partners to align on an automation strategy with overall transformation goals, driving innovation and risk mitigation? If so, join us in delivering this sustainable, business-driven S/4HANA program and in driving a successful digital transformation, to make a significant positive impact
Key Responsibilities
- Live and exemplify the Five Principles within self and team.
- Strategic Leadership & Governance: Define and own the end-to-end test automation strategy aligned with the SAP S/4HANA transformation roadmap and satellite system integrations. Establish governance frameworks, standards, and policies for automation across multiple teams and vendors. Drive alignment of automation objectives with business priorities, compliance requirements, and quality standards. Lead cross-functional collaboration to ensure automation strategy supports seamless integration testing, regression, and continuous delivery in a hybrid SAP and non-SAP environment.
- Collaboration with Testing COE and Test Factory: Partner with the Testing Centre of Excellence (COE) to ensure automation strategy is consistent with enterprise testing standards and leverages best practices. Work closely with the test factory to define which test scenarios and processes should be automated versus those best suited for manual testing, based on risk, complexity, and business impact. Ensure that regression testing (both manual and automated) is executed through the test factory under the guidance of the Testing COE. Provide strategic guidance and criteria for automation selection to the test factory, ensuring optimal use of resources and maximizing the value of automated testing. Facilitate knowledge sharing and alignment between the COE, test factory, and project teams to drive continuous improvement and innovation in testing approaches.
- Framework & Tooling Strategy: Confirm automation tools and platforms suitable for SAP S/4HANA modules and satellite systems, in alignment with the standard tools owned by the Testing COE. Develop a scalable and modular automation framework strategy that supports SAP-specific testing alongside custom and third-party applications. Promote adoption of best practices for automation script development, maintenance, and version control within an enterprise context.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Communication: Partner with program management, business process owners, and IT leadership to communicate automation strategy, progress, and risks. Facilitate workshops and governance forums to align expectations and promote and support a culture of quality and automation excellence. Provide strategic guidance to testing teams, external vendors, and business users on automation capabilities and roadmap.
- Risk Management & Continuous Improvement: Identify automation related risks impacting project timelines, quality, or compliance and propose mitigation strategies. Monitor automation KPIs and metrics to assess effectiveness and recommend continuous improvements.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify areas for improvement in the testing process and implement best practices to enhance quality and efficiency.
- Tools: Experience in testing tools (Tricentis, JIRA, SNOW, eCATT, SAP Solution Manager, AzureDevOps, Cloud ALM or equivalent such as HP/MF ALM) for test management.
- Manage cross-team and stakeholder relationships to drive collaboration and meet shared goals
- Programs are often marked by a seamless transition from the old system/landscape to the new one. As part of this SAP S/4HANA Digital Transformation program, we therefore require someone with high level of expertise and experience in delivering test strategies and successful test execution within SAP.
- The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategic planning and governance of test automation efforts within a large-scale SAP S/4HANA transformation program, including integration with multiple satellite systems. They will be responsible for defining the automation vision, frameworks, and best practices to ensure high-quality, efficient, and scalable testing across a complex landscape. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with program leadership, business stakeholders, the Testing Centre of Excellence (COE), and the test factory to align automation strategy with overall transformation goals, driving innovation and risk mitigation
