Test Lead – Time & Attendance

A Snapshot of your day

This role is a new addition to the Payroll team, created to support the global roll-out of a new Time & Attendance (UKG) system. As a Specialist Professional, this position is critical for establishing and owning the end-to-end testing process to ensure the quality and accuracy of data flowing into payroll systems, directly impacting employee salaries. To meet this objective, the role is structured around two core areas: Test Strategy & Methodology Definition and Test Execution & Quality Assurance. This involves designing the entire testing framework, from templates to phases, and then leading the execution of these tests to validate system integrity and functionality across a global landscape. Given the focus on system quality and data accuracy, the ideal candidate will possess subject matter expertise in HR systems testing, particularly with Time & Attendance and its integration with payroll. This position requires proven experience in leading large-scale testing projects, defining test methodologies, and coaching others.
