Non-Functional Test Lead – API, Automation, Asset Management, Outside IR35

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.

• 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.

The ideal candidate will have recently completed a similar NFT Lead role for another Asset Management company and will be keen to apply lessons learnt within a new dynamic environment.

Minorities, women, LGBTQ+ candidates, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
