QA & Test Analyst - 12month FTC

Be the quality engine behind one of the UK legal sector's most ambitious technology transformation programmes.

The Opportunity

Lawfront is a fast-growing, PE-backed group of seven leading law firms. Through Programme Drive, we are consolidating all hub firms onto a unified technology stack - including Aderant Expert Sierra, Clio Operate and NetDocuments. The success of every deployment, every migration, and every go-live depends on one thing: the quality of our testing.

That's where you come in.

We are currently recruiting a QA & Test Analyst to join us on a 12month FTC , you will own the quality assurance and testing function across all Programme Drive products. You will ensure that what we deliver to end users works exactly as it should - every time. You will design and maintain test scripts, coordinate UAT cycles, validate data migrations, manage defects, and provide the evidence that gives programme leadership the confidence to proceed.

If you are methodical, thorough, and motivated by the idea that good testing is what separates a smooth rollout from a painful one, this is a role where you will make a visible impact.

What You Will Do

• Design, build and maintain structured test scripts for Aderant Expert Sierra, Clio Operate and NetDocuments
• Plan and coordinate UAT cycles across hub firms, preparing and supporting end users through testing
• Validate data migration outputs, ensuring accuracy and completeness before sign-off
• Own defect management - logging, prioritising, tracking and ensuring timely resolution
• Work closely with developers and BAs to review requirements, assess testability and resolve defects
• Establish and maintain a consistent QA framework with clear entry/exit criteria and sign-off standards
• Collaborate with hub IT teams, configuration specialists and vendors to ensure issues are understood and resolved
• Produce test summary reports and exit documentation that give leadership a clear, evidence-based view of readiness
• Build and maintain a reusable library of test assets, including regression packs and UAT scripts
• Act as the programme's "quality conscience", raising risks early and protecting testing standards
• Coach end users through UAT so that sign-off is meaningful, accurate and reliable

What You Will Bring

• 3+ years' experience in QA, testing or quality assurance within a technology implementation or systems deployment environment
• Proven ability to write clear, structured test scripts and UAT documentation that non-technical users can follow
• Experience planning and managing UAT cycles end-to-end
• Strong understanding of defect management and how to prioritise, track and escalate effectively
• Ability to manage concurrent testing workstreams across multiple products and deployments
• A methodical, detail-oriented approach with the tenacity to investigate edge cases
• Excellent communication and stakeholder skills, able to work with both technical teams and end users
• Experience producing test documentation suitable for audit - plans, scripts, logs, defect registers, exit reports
• Composure under delivery pressure and the confidence to push back when quality is at risk

What Would Set You Apart

• Hands-on experience testing legal technology platforms (Aderant Expert, Clio Operate, NetDocuments)
• Experience validating data migrations and designing reconciliation checks
• Familiarity with test management tooling and structured QA approaches
• Experience working within a formal programme delivery environment with defined QA gates
• Understanding of legal practice workflows, PMS/CMS/DMS behaviour and how users interact with these systems

Why Join Lawfront?

• Play a central role in a major, well-funded transformation programme
• Work across multiple products, firms and deployment cycles - no two weeks look the same
• Join a collaborative, ambitious team where quality is genuinely valued
• Make a visible impact on how legal services are delivered across a growing national group
