Test Manager - Functional & Automation | 7-Month FTC | Up to $180k + Super | Brisbane CBD | Hybrid Working | Core Banking Transformation

At Tranzformd, we partner with some of Australia's leading organisations to deliver large-scale technology transformation programs.

We're looking for an experienced Test Manager to oversee functional and automation testing for a major core banking transformation. You'll join the C2C program as it delivers complex software changes and migrates applications to the cloud.

About the Role

You'll own the overall test plan, schedule and milestones across functional and automation testing. The established Functional and Automation Leads will guide the technical work in their streams, while you'll coordinate delivery across both. You'll work closely with the leads, engineering teams and program stakeholders to sequence testing around software releases and cloud migration milestones and keep teams aligned when priorities or timelines shift.

A key part of the role is building stakeholder confidence in test delivery. You'll give stakeholders a clear view of progress, test coverage, defects and dependencies. When a risk threatens a milestone, you'll explain the impact, escalate it early and follow through on agreed actions. You'll also bring together the evidence stakeholders need to decide whether a release is ready to proceed.

Key Skills

• Proven experience as a Test Manager overseeing both functional and automation testing on a complex enterprise program.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to lead difficult conversations and communicate delivery risks clearly.
• Excellent test scheduling, reporting and coordination skills across multiple teams and workstreams.
• A strong understanding of complex software delivery and cloud migrations, including how dependencies affect test sequencing and release readiness.
• A calm, resilient approach when priorities shift or delivery comes under pressure.
• Banking or financial services experience is desirable. Experience on a comparable software transformation and cloud migration program is also relevant.

What's on Offer

• Up to $180,000 + super.
• Initial 7-month fixed-term contract, with potential extensions through to 2028.
• Hybrid working based in Brisbane CBD.

If you've managed functional and automation testing on a complex transformation and enjoy bringing structure and clarity to delivery, we'd love to hear from you.
