SAP QA Lead – Global Rollout

I’m steering a multi-country SAP deployment in the Life Sciences sector and need a seasoned functional consultant to take full ownership of quality assurance across every phase. The solution spans MM, SD, PM, LE-TRA, GTS, EWM, and WM, with numerous third-party interfaces that must work flawlessly from day one. Your mandate is to design and run a rock-solid test programme, then close the loop on every defect: • Lead all key test phases—SIT, E2E, and UAT—co-ordinating business users, integrators, and developers. • Build end-to-end test scenarios that exercise cross-module flows, batch jobs, EDI, serialisation, and validated lab systems. • Maintain full traceability in both HP ALM and qTest, linking requirements to scripts, executions, and defects. • Drive daily defect triage, root-cause analysis, and retest cycles until each issue is fully resolved and retested. • Track regression coverage so nothing slips through during transport moves or change windows. Deliverables I expect: 1. A master test strategy and schedule signed off by all work-stream leads. 2. Complete, version-controlled test scripts with mapped requirements in HP ALM/qTest. 3. Daily defect dashboards highlighting priorities and ageing items. 4. A final test exit report showing coverage metrics, residual risk assessment, and release readiness. Acceptance criteria will be met when all critical and high-severity defects are closed, traceability is 100 %, and business sign-off is secured for each market rollout. If you have led similarly complex Life Sciences rollouts and can hit the ground running with HP ALM and qTest, I’m ready to move quickly.
