QA & Test Analyst- 8month FTC

QA & Test Analyst - 8month FTC

Fixed-term contract for the duration of Programme Drive

The Opportunity

Quality sits at the heart of what Programme Drive is trying to achieve. Lawfront is consolidating seven hub firms onto a unified technology stack, and the confidence to go live on any platform depends entirely on whether the testing has been done properly. This is where you come in. As QA & Test Analyst, you will own the quality assurance and testing function across all Programme Drive products, ensuring that what gets delivered to end users across the group works as it should, every time.

The scope is broad. You will be responsible for QA and testing across Aderant Expert Sierra, Clio Operate, and NetDocuments, working closely with the development and BA teams throughout the build and configuration cycle, with the data team on migration validation, with the Education and adoption team as users are prepared for new ways of working, and with end users across the hub firms on user acceptance testing. You will design and maintain test scripts, coordinate UAT cycles, manage defect tracking, and ensure that testing is structured, evidenced, and completed to a standard that gives the programme team the confidence to proceed.

If you are methodical, thorough, and motivated by the idea that good testing is what separates a successful technology rollout from a difficult one, this role will suit you well.

What You Will Do

• Design, build, and maintain structured test scripts for Aderant Expert Sierra, Clio Operate, and NetDocuments, covering functional, regression, and integration testing scenarios across all hub firm deployments
• Plan and coordinate user acceptance testing cycles, working directly with end users at each hub firm to prepare them for testing, support them through it, and capture and triage the outcomes effectively
• Work closely with the data team to validate migration outputs, confirming that data has transferred accurately and completely from source systems into the target platform before sign-off is sought
• Own defect management across the testing lifecycle, logging, prioritising, and tracking issues to resolution, and ensuring that nothing progresses to go-live with outstanding defects that have not been assessed and accepted
• Work closely with developers and business analysts throughout the build and configuration cycle, contributing QA input early in the process, reviewing requirements and designs for testability, and ensuring that defects identified in testing are communicated clearly and resolved effectively
• Establish and maintain a QA framework for Programme Drive that is consistent across products and hubs, with clear entry and exit criteria, test coverage standards, and sign-off processes that the wider delivery team can rely on
• Engage with hub IT teams, configuration specialists, and vendors to ensure defects and test findings are understood, prioritised correctly, and resolved within timescales that protect the delivery schedule
• Produce test summary reports and exit documentation that give the programme team and hub leadership a clear, evidence-based view of readiness before each go-live decision is made
• Build and maintain a library of reusable test assets, including regression packs and UAT scripts, that can be adapted efficiently as each new hub goes through the deployment cycle
• Act as the quality conscience of the programme, raising concerns early when scope, timelines, or resourcing put testing thoroughness at risk, and working constructively with the delivery lead to find solutions
• Coach and support end users through UAT, working alongside the Education and adoption team to help them understand what they are testing, how to record findings accurately, and what good looks like, so that user sign-off is meaningful rather than procedural

What You Will Bring

• At least three years in a QA, testing, or quality assurance role, with a track record of delivering structured test cycles in a technology implementation or systems deployment context
• Proven ability to write clear, well-structured test scripts and UAT documentation that end users can follow without needing a technical background, and that produce consistent, comparable results
• Experience planning and managing UAT cycles end to end, including scoping, scheduling, onboarding end users, facilitating testing sessions, and consolidating outcomes into actionable findings
• Solid understanding of defect management, including how to categorise, prioritise, and track defects through to resolution, and how to make a clear, evidence-based case for blocking or proceeding
