About the Opportunity
We are seeking a UAT Test Lead to support high-visibility transformation initiatives within a complex, enterprise environment. This consultant will drive end-to-end user acceptance testing strategy and execution across multiple concurrent programs, partnering cross-functionally to ensure quality, alignment, and delivery excellence.

This is a highly collaborative, influence-driven role requiring strong stakeholder engagement, structured execution, and the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced setting.

What You’ll Do

• Lead implementation and execution of UAT strategy across multiple enterprise initiatives
• Drive scenario identification, script development, and test execution planning
• Partner cross-functionally with technical teams, program managers, and business stakeholders to prepare and execute UAT cycles
• Track, triage, and drive closure of defects to ensure high-quality releases
• Support global test execution efforts, including complex and confidential initiatives
• Provide structured reporting on test progress, risk exposure, and release readiness
• Contribute to continuous improvement of UAT methodologies, templates, and governance frameworks
• Manage multiple concurrent projects (2–5 active engagements; 20+ annually)

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience leading User Acceptance Testing within large, enterprise environments
• Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end UAT strategy and execution
• Strong experience building test plans, test scenarios, and defect management processes
• Proven ability to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders (10–50+ contributors)
• Experience working in highly matrixed organizations
• Autonomous, proactive leadership style with strong critical thinking skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting Finance or enterprise systems transformations
• Agile/Scrum experience
• PMP or equivalent project leadership experience
• Exposure to test automation tools (e.g., Selenium)
• Experience supporting global or multi-regional teams

What Sets You Apart

• You thrive in ambiguous environments and ask the right questions early
• You motivate teams that do not directly report to you
• You bring structure to complex initiatives while maintaining forward momentum
• You balance strategic oversight with hands-on execution

Engagement Details

• Hybrid schedule (onsite Tuesday–Thursday in Austin, TX)
• 12+ month consulting engagement with potential extension
