• Execute business scenarios in UAT environments, capturing results with clear evidence and detailed defect documentation.
• Document defects and testing outcomes in JIRA, ensuring accurate prioritization, reproducibility, and lifecycle management through triage and closure.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to clarify questions, remove blockers, and drive timely resolution of issues impacting testing milestones.
• Provide regular, concise status updates to stakeholders and leadership, summarizing progress, risks, coverage, and key decisions needed.
• Maintain complete and current testing artifacts (plans, scripts, traceability, execution evidence, and sign-offs) in approved repositories and tools.
• Reconcile outcomes across test cycles and participant groups, leading investigation and resolution of discrepancies and retest requirements.
• Improve UAT efficiency and effectiveness by adopting process enhancements and leveraging AI-assisted test design, accelerators, dashboards, and workflow automation.

• Familiarity with CI/CD integrations and techniques such as intelligent test selection and automation stability practices.
• Demonstrated use of innovation tools (AI/GenAI productivity tools, workflow automation, low-code/no-code solutions, analytics dashboards) to enhance UAT planning, execution, reporting, or defect management.
• Experience reconciling results across multiple test cycles, environments, or tester groups and driving consistent outcomes.
• Comfort working in fast-paced delivery environments with high visibility, ambiguity, and shifting priorities.
