Role Summary

We are Seeking the Oracle ERP Test Manager will lead end-to-end testing for Oracle Cloud ERP programs (Finance and/or SCM), acting as the primary client-facing and vendor-facing test leader. The role is responsible for shaping the test strategy, governing SIT/UAT/OAT, orchestrating multi-vendor delivery, ensuring traceability and compliance (e.g., SOX where applicable), and delivering high-quality releases through risk-based testing and measurable KPIs. This is an onsite leadership role working closely with client stakeholders and coordinating offshore QE teams.

Key Responsibilities

Test Leadership & Governance

• Own the Test Strategy, Test Plan, and Quality Governance across ERP tracks (Finance, SCM, Integrations, Reporting).
• Establish and run test governance forums: daily stand-ups, defect triage, go/no-go gates, release readiness meetings.
• Define entry/exit criteria, risk-based test scope, and traceability from requirements → test cases → defects → release notes.
• Set up RACI, test calendar, and QA checkpoints across SIT, UAT, OAT, regression, and cutover validations.

Client & Vendor Management

• Serve as the single point of contact for client QA leadership; ensure transparent communication and expectation management.
• Coordinate with system integrators (SI), third-party vendors, and internal product teams on dependencies, environments, and fixes.
• Drive defect SLAs, cross-team ownership, and escalation management; present progress/KPIs to executive stakeholders.

Functional & Integration Testing

• Oversee testing across Finance (GL, AP, AR, FA, CM, COA, P2P, O2C) and SCM (Inventory, Procurement, Order Management, Manufacturing).

• Govern API/OIC integration testing, data migration/reconciliation, reporting/BI verification, and cutover readiness.

Non-Functional & Automation

• Define regression automation strategy (e.g., Tosca, Selenium/WebdriverIO, Test Complete) and integrate into CI/CD (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Oversee performance testing scope (critical flows, SLA validation) and environment/instrumentation readiness.
• Ensure security, audit, and compliance checks (SOX/ITGC where applicable) are embedded in the test process.

Planning, Environments & Data

• Build detailed test schedules, resource plans, and environment usage plans (SIT/UAT/Pre-Prod).
• Establish test data strategy (masking/subsetting/synthetic), test data refresh cycles, and data governance.

Reporting & Metrics

• Publish daily/weekly dashboards: coverage, pass rate, defect density/leakage/severity aging, DRE, trend analysis, and risk register updates.
• Produce go-live quality sign-offs, test summary reports, and post-implementation validation plans.
