Your new company

A leading financial services organisation is undertaking a major transformation of its HR systems, including payroll, time sheeting, and workforce management. The initiative aims to replace a fragmented system landscape with a unified Oracle-based platform that delivers real-time functionality and improved operational efficiency.

Your new role

As a Senior Test Analyst within the Payroll stream of this HR transformation program, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end testing strategy and execution. You’ll lead test planning, design complex test scenarios, and guide junior testers while working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the delivery of a robust and compliant payroll solution. This role demands deep payroll domain expertise and strong leadership in enterprise-scale testing environments.

What you'll need to succeed

• Lead the development and execution of test strategies, plans, and test cases for payroll functionality
• Perform and oversee functional, integration, regression, and UAT testing activities
• Validate payroll calculations, compliance rules, and data migration within Oracle HCM
• Identify, document, and manage defects; drive resolution with development teams
• Collaborate with business analysts, developers, and stakeholders to align testing with business needs
• Mentor junior test analysts and contribute to testing best practices
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and promote continuous improvement

What you'll get in return

• Extensive experience as a Test Analyst in payroll or HRIS transformation projects
• Strong hands-on payroll testing expertise (ADP experience highly regarded but not essential)
• Proven background in banking, insurance, or large financial services organisations
• Deep understanding of payroll processes, compliance, and enterprise HR platforms (Oracle HCM preferred)
• Exceptional analytical, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
• Experience in Agile/Scrum environments
• ISTQB certification or equivalent highly desirable
