Proven senior Non-Functional Test (NFT) Lead required with experience in setting the NFT Testing strategy within an Asset Management/Financial Services environment. Suitable candidates must have experience in working closely with an executive leadership team in owning the NFT strategy for the organisation.
Key skills required
- Proven experience leading and executing non-functional testing for large-scale transformation programmes.
- Strong hands-on expertise in performance, load, and volume testing, including tooling such as JMeter, LoadRunner, or K6.
- Demonstrable experience contributing to automation initiatives.
- Strong understanding of automation as an enabler of NFT, regression, and end-to-end quality, not as an end in itself.
- Confidence operating across strategy, assurance, and hands-on delivery depending on programme needs.
The role will involve;
Own and assurance
- You will lead the Non-Functional Test strategy for the organisation, covering performance, load, volume, scalability, resilience, and reliability.
- Define and manage non-functional requirements (NFRs) in collaboration with business, architecture, and platform teams.
- Design and execute end-to-end NFT scenarios across Aladdin and its integrated ecosystem, including batch, data, API, and UI layers.
- Lead delivery of load, stress, volume, and peak processing tests, including month-end, quarter-end, and rebalance scenarios.
- Provide NFT go-live assurance, including risk articulation, readiness assessments, and senior stakeholder recommendations.
Test Automation and Delivery
Provide hands-on support to test automation activities where required, including:
- Contributing to or extending existing automation frameworks.
- Automating non-functional and cross-system test scenarios where appropriate.
- Collaborate closely with test automation engineers and architects to ensure:
- Automation supports NFT and end-to-end quality objectives.
- Tooling and frameworks are fit-for-purpose for Aladdin-centric testing.
- Advocate for intelligent use of automation to accelerate regression coverage, data setup, and repeatable testing without over-engineering.
- Support CI/CD-aligned quality practices that integrate functional, non-functional, and automated testing outputs.
