Test and Verification Lead (Master Test Plans, V&V) for NATO with security clearance

ph3Have you ever been the independent verifier on a programme that could not be allowed to fail? /h3 pThis is assurance at the sharp end. You plan and run formal reviews and assessments across complex, cross-functional and supply chain domains, and you do it as the independent voice rather than as part of the delivery team. Based in The Hague, with flexibility to work from home when it is needed. /p h3What You Will Be Doing /h3 ul liPlanning, organising and conducting formal reviews and assessments across complex and cross-functional domains /li liIdentifying non-compliance with organisational standards and getting to the root cause /li liProducing the test documentation that matters: event test plans, test cases, requirements traceability matrices, test reports /li liProviding assurance over test artefacts, the traceability matrix above all /li liManaging the design, planning and execution of verification and validation events, and reporting on them /li liActing as independent verifier on projects delivered by external contractors /li liSupporting the operational community through operational acceptance /li /ul h3What you will need /h3 ul liFive years or more, recent, owning verification and validation planning and execution on large complex projects. Be ready to describe two programmes where you authored or led the master or event test plan and directed execution, not simply contributed test cases under someone else's plan /li liThree years or more, recent, of functional, non-functional and interoperability testing. Expect to walk through a campaign you designed, how pass and fail criteria were set, and what you found /li liExperience managing external stakeholders on large projects, including a real escalation you resolved /li liThe ability to read hardware and software architectures from design documentation and spot the testable risk /li liTeam leadership experience: tell us the team size, your actual role, and a resourcing or performance decision you made /li liTesting in virtualised and cloud environments, and the specific platforms you used /li liTest, defect and requirements management tooling, and how you used it for traceability on a real project /li liAn advanced testing certification, NATO or military domain experience, and interoperability testing are all welcome /li /ul h3Why this one is worth a look /h3 pIndependence is written into the role rather than negotiated case by case. If you have spent years being overruled on quality, this is the other side of that argument. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
