Acutest are a leading independent testing consultancy who concentrate soley on testing software, business processes and IT. Our clients span all the major business sectors and range from some of the largest organisations in the UK to niche companies. At Acutest, we believe that more can be achieved in testing by deploying fewer and better people. So the people we are looking for to increase our team are hands-on Test Lead and Test Management Consultants who combine excellent testing skills with strong consulting behaviour.

• Conduct Test Reviews/ Audits on test documentation
• Create and implement risk based test strategies and test plans
• Lead a team of test analysts in the creation of test cases
• Liaise with business users as well as third party suppliers and senior management
• Work with other test team members to define and create the test data required for all tests
• Liaise with subject experts, as required, to enable them to make informed decisions about the quality of the element under test
You must have:
• Ability to work alone and using own initiative with ability to lead a team of testers
• Flexible with work locations and ability to travel to varied locations (many in London & South East)
• Experience of leading testing on large projects

• ISEB/ISTQB Foundation software testing certified

Our assignments are always project based, so you'll need to be resilient, able to deliver under pressure and possess excellent communication skills.
We expect a lot from our team and in return for this commitment we offer exciting and rewarding careers with a particular focus on developing individuals through training, coaching and challenging assignments.
On many programmes and large projects, testing will take up a significant portion of the budget. But it will receive less management attention than an activity of this size warrants.
