SAP Testing Lead – Enterprise SAP Transformation

About Us

We are one of the UKs leading facilities management and professional services organisations, founded in 1987 and headquartered in London. With 70,000+ colleagues across the UK and Ireland, we support thousands of sites every day, keeping workplaces, public spaces, and critical infrastructure running safely and efficiently.

In FY2025, we generated over £5bn in revenue and hold market‑leading positions across several core service lines. We operate in complex, highly regulated environments and are transforming how facilities services are delivered—moving from traditional FM to technology‑led, data‑driven Facilities Transformation.

The Role

We are hiring an experienced SAP Testing Lead to own the end‑to‑end testing strategy and execution across a large enterprise SAP landscape.

You will be responsible for ensuring SAP solutions are fit for purpose, stable, and ready for operational deployment, coordinating testing across multiple workstreams, integrations, and business areas. This role is critical to providing confidence in go‑live decisions and protecting day‑one business operations.

What Youll Be Responsible For

• Defining the SAP test strategy covering unit, SIT, end‑to‑end, performance, security, UAT, and regression testing
• Developing test plans, scripts, environments, test data, and clear entry/exit criteria
• Coordinating cross‑workstream defect management, triage, and resolution
• Governing test evidence, traceability, and readiness reporting
• Aligning testing activities with cutover plans and hypercare readiness

How Youll Work

Youll partner closely with Programme Management (planning and milestones), SAP Functional and Technical teams (test coverage), Integration teams (end‑to‑end scenarios), Security teams (controls and access), and Business Process Owners (BPOs) to drive UAT, sign‑off, and readiness decisions.

What Success Looks Like

• High test coverage with a controlled and transparent defect profile
• Clear, evidence‑based readiness assessment and confident business sign‑off
• Minimal critical defects or disruption post go‑live

What Were Looking For

• 7–10+ years experience leading SAP testing on large transformation programmes
• Proven experience across SIT, E2E, UAT, performance, and regression testing
• Strong defect governance, reporting, and evidence‑based decision‑making
• Calm, organised leadership style with strong stakeholder credibility

Preferred certifications and experience:
ISTQB Advanced Test Manager
Agile testing certifications (desirable)
Performance testing tools (e.g. JMeter, LoadRunner)
SAP Activate methodology (for alignment to delivery stage‑gates)
