Business & Cross-Functional Partnership

· Collaborate with Patient Support Services business owners and subject matter experts to translate business requirements into testable scenarios.

· Work closely with Product, IT, Business Analysts, Project Managers, Quality, Compliance, Operations, and external vendors throughout the testing lifecycle.

· Facilitate UAT sessions with business users and ensure appropriate stakeholders participate in testing.

· Communicate testing progress, risks, issues, dependencies, and outcomes to project stakeholders.

Quality, Compliance & Risk

· Ensure testing activities align with applicable company policies, procedures, quality standards, and regulatory requirements.

· Validate appropriate handling of patient information and sensitive data within applicable systems and workflows.

· Ensure test cases adequately address business, operational, data, security, and compliance requirements.

· Maintain appropriate audit documentation and testing evidence.

· Escalate significant defects, risks, or gaps that may affect patient experience, program operations, data integrity, or compliance.

Continuous Improvement

· Identify opportunities to improve UAT processes, test coverage, documentation, and testing efficiency.

· Develop reusable test scenarios and regression test suites for recurring PSS processes.

· Contribute to requirements reviews and identify potential gaps before development or implementation.

· Support lessons-learned activities and incorporate improvements into future testing cycles.
