Test Lead

Test Lead | Devon (Hybrid) | £55k | Employee-Owned B Corp

A South West food and ecommerce business (1,000+ co-owners, B Corp, genuinely values-led) is going through a major ERP transformation and needs someone to own the testing piece end-to-end. There's no strategy, no automation framework, no playbook. You'd be building it.

It's a 50/50 role. Half hands-on testing across the ERP rollout and wider enterprise systems. Half defining how testing actually gets done at the business going forward, working with software engineers to embed it as a discipline rather than a tick-box at the end.

You'll report into the Director of Enterprise Solutions and work directly with a hiring manager who knows exactly what good looks like and wants someone he can build alongside.

What you'd be doing:

• Owning the test strategy across ERP integrations, platform development, and system changes
• Hands-on testing with a strong focus on API and integration testing
• Building a pragmatic automation approach from scratch
• Influencing engineers and stakeholders to make quality a shared responsibility
• Coordinating release validation and performance testing across the programme

What you'll need:

• Experience leading or owning testing on enterprise systems
• Strong API and integration testing background
• Some exposure to ERP or large transformation programmes
• The personality to win people over in a business where everyone has a voice

Why it's worth a look:

• Genuine ownership, you're defining how this works, not inheriting someone else's setup
• Employee-owned, so you'd be a co-owner with actual influence
• Hybrid, with weekly presence at their Devon HQ (ideal if you're between Exeter and Plymouth, or nearby)
• 33 days holiday, tax-free profit share, EV salary sacrifice, 30% off product
• B Corp, recently ranked 53rd in the UK's Top 100 Best Companies to Work For
