Your new company

A large organisation based in Cardiff.

Your new role
We are seeking a hands-on UAT Test Manager to support a major SAP transformation programme, migrating from legacy systems into SAP Finance and Procurement.
The role will focus on User Acceptance Testing (UAT) from a business perspective, ensuring that the SAP solution delivered by the system integrator is fully aligned to real operational workflows.
This plays a critical role in bridging the gap between technical delivery and business usability, particularly as the business will own UAT.

Role Responsibilities

• Develop and own the UAT strategy, approach, and governance.
• Define test scope, entry/exit criteria, and success measures.
• Establish a structured UAT test framework aligned to business processes.
• Design and produce end-to-end UAT test scripts based on business process mapping.
• Ensure scenarios reflect real-life workflows (e.g. invoice processing, procurement journeys).
• Work closely with the Business Analyst to translate process designs into testable scenarios.
• Act as a quality gate on system integrator deliverables, challenging outputs where required.
• Partner with the SAP Consultant to validate how processes should work in SAP and how they should be tested.
• Lead and coordinate UAT execution with business users.
• Support a combined training + UAT approach, enabling users to learn SAP while testing it.
• Provide hands-on guidance to users with limited SAP experience.

What you'll need to succeed

• Proven experience as a Test Manager within large-scale ERP transformations.

• Strong hands-on experience leading UAT for SAP implementations.

• Migrating from legacy systems to SAP.

• Experience across Finance, Procurement, and HR modules.

• Capability to operate in a hands-on capacity (test strategy, scripting, execution).

• Strong stakeholder management and ability to challenge delivery partners effectively.

• Experience providing independent assurance/oversight in complex programmes.

• Strong understanding of test governance, defect management, and reporting.
  
  

What you'll get in return

• £550 Per Day Inside IR35.

• A flexible working pattern.
• 6-month contract with possibility of extension.
