Job Description

Key Responsibilities

• Lead test strategy, planning, and execution for functional and automated testing

across global supply chain projects (ERP, WMS, TMS, planning tools, quality

management).

• Partner with business and IT stakeholders to define acceptance criteria, UAT scope,

and business process validation.

• Balance hands-on execution (designing and running tests) with leadership

responsibilities (mentoring, coordinating testers, managing offshore/onsite

resources).

• Collaborate with environment and data teams to ensure test readiness: appropriate

environments, data sets, and automation pipelines.

• Manage defect lifecycle: logging, prioritization, root cause analysis, retesting, and

closure.

• Drive continuous integration / continuous testing practices, working closely with

DevOps and release teams.

• Provide reporting on test execution, automation coverage, defects, and readiness

metrics to leadership.

• Promote best practices in test automation: code reusability, modularization,

maintainability, and performance validation.

• Ensure compliance with audit, controls, and regulatory requirements relevant to

manufacturing and toy safety.

manufacturing, logistics, distribution, quality).

• Hands-on expertise with test automation tools (e.g., Selenium, Tosca, TestRail,

UFT, Cypress, or similar).

• Proven ability to design and maintain automation frameworks (UI, API, regression

packs).

• Strong experience with functional testing: business scenarios, regression,

integration, and UAT.

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management; ability to work with business

users, IT, and vendors in a global, matrixed environment.

Preferred:

• Experience in consumer products, toys, retail, or manufacturing industries.

• Exposure to large ERP environments (SAP or equivalent) and supply chain execution
