We’re looking for an experienced End to End Test Manager to lead and develop our End to End testing capability across a complex technology landscape.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring critical customer, colleague and business journeys continue to operate successfully as technology changes are delivered. Working across multiple applications, platforms, business areas and third-party suppliers, you’ll provide confidence that changes work seamlessly from start to finish.

What you’ll do

• Own and evolve the End to End Test Strategy, standards, governance and ways of working.

• Lead E2E test planning, preparation, execution and reporting across complex programmes and business change.

• Build and maintain a risk-based regression suite covering critical customer, colleague and operational journeys.

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Architecture and business teams to understand processes, integrations, dependencies and risks.

• Lead on test environments, test data, quality gates, defect management and release readiness.

• Drive an automation-first approach, identifying opportunities to automate stable and repeatable regression scenarios.

• Coordinate onshore and offshore testing resources and third-party suppliers.

• Provide clear reporting on test progress, coverage, defects and residual risk to support Go / No Go decisions.

• Lead and develop E2E Test Analysts / Engineers while continuously improving the overall testing capability.

About you

You’ll bring:

• Significant Test Management or Quality Engineering experience within a large, complex organisation.

• Strong experience leading End to End testing across multiple integrated systems and business processes.

• Experience developing test strategies, plans, regression suites and quality gates.

• Strong knowledge of integration, system, regression, UAT and operational testing.

• Experience with test automation, environments and test data.

• Experience working across Agile, Product and programme delivery models.

• Strong stakeholder management skills and confidence communicating quality and delivery risks to senior stakeholders.

• Experience managing third-party suppliers and distributed testing teams.

Desirable experience

Experience within a large retail environment would be particularly valuable, including exposure to areas such as stores, eCommerce, supply chain, order fulfilment, pricing and promotions, SAP or other enterprise platforms.

Experience with tools such as Jira, Zephyr, Azure DevOps, API/integration testing tools, automation frameworks and CI/CD quality engineering practices would also be beneficial.

What success looks like

You’ll help create a mature, reusable E2E testing capability that improves coverage of critical business journeys, increases automation, reduces cross-system defects reaching production and gives teams greater confidence in the quality of technology releases.

Everything you'll love

To ensure we balance moments where we know we need to collaborate together and the need for flexibility, Asda has a hybrid way of working with a minimum 3 days a week in one of our Home Offices. Over and above this, each area of Asda may have additional requirements which may require spending more days in the office, visiting suppliers, stores or depots.

You will also get an excellent benefits package including:

• Discretionary company bonus

• Company pension up to 7% matched

• Company Car allowance of £5,700

• 15% colleague discount in store and online

• Free access to wellbeing services such as Stream, 24/7 virtual GP, counselling, health and dental cash plans and a 24/7 employee assistance helpline, alongside discounts across a range of services and activities, from airport parking, enhanced to theme parks and cinemas.

• Asda Allies Inclusion Networks – helping colleagues to make sure everybody is included and that our differences are recognised and celebrated

• Excellent parental leave policies, including maternity & adoption leave, paternity leave, shared parental leave, neonatal care leave, and support for those doing fertility treatments.
