About the Role

Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Test Analyst to play a critical role in delivering high-quality software solutions for enterprise clients. You'll go beyond test execution, acting as a bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring testing activities are structured, documented, and communicated clearly.
