Create your best future and join Westpac as a Test Director.

What’s the role?

The Test Director is accountable for defining, leading, and governing end‑to‑end testing and quality assurance for the multi-year SRDE Migration program, ensuring delivery certainty across large‑scale platform migration, regulatory‑sensitive change, and complex enterprise releases.

This role positions testing as a strategic risk management and assurance capability, providing senior stakeholders with confidence in release readiness, data integrity, environment stability, and long‑term platform scalability across cloud‑based architectures.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Define and embed a unified testing and quality strategy across SRDE Migration, aligned to technology, data, and cloud transformation roadmaps.
• Integrate quality, risk, and environment readiness into program planning, sequencing, and release decisions from inception.
• Establish enterprise-grade quality controls, assurance frameworks, and risk governance to support regulatory and investment decisions.
• Lead testing and assurance across complex legacy-to-cloud migrations, including data platforms, analytics, and tightly coupled systems.
• Provide end-to-end oversight of test environments, ensuring stability, resilience, and alignment to cloud infrastructure and release timelines.
• Build a scalable testing capability, driving automation, intelligent testing, and AI-enabled quality insights to support future-state platforms.

What do I need?

• Extensive experience leading testing and quality assurance for large‑scale data or platform migration programs
• Strong technology background with exposure to cloud platforms, Snowflake or similar modern data stacks, and enterprise data ecosystems.
• Experience operating in complex, regulated environments (e.g. banking, financial services, risk, data platforms).
• Proven leadership at executive and governance levels, influencing strategic and investment decisions.
• Experience managing quality across multi‑vendor, hybrid cloud, and legacy architectures
• Strong strategic planning, commercial acumen, and ability to optimise delivery investment and cost of change.
