Job Description

UAT Test Lead Payments & Liquidity Contract Glasgow (Hybrid) 6 Months Inside IR35 £80,000 – £90,000

We’re working with a major financial services organisation to find an experienced UAT Test Lead with a strong Payments & Liquidity background for a 6-month contract based in Glasgow. This is a high-ownership role sitting at the heart of a complex payments programme – not a box-ticking testing gig.

You’ll be designing and executing end-to-end test scenarios, managing defects through to closure, and taking real governance accountability across the full testing lifecycle. If you’re someone who thrives on owning a process from start to finish, this one is worth a look.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Collaborating with stakeholders across Product, Operations, Technology, and Vendor teams to understand business requirements and translate them into solid test coverage
  • Designing E2E test scenarios for release-specific requirements
  • Setting up, maintaining, and actively driving E2E automation scripts
  • Executing release-based testing across internal and external partner applications
  • Managing defects – identification, documentation, triage, retest, and closure
  • Providing daily status reporting on execution progress, risks, and blockers
  • Taking end-to-end ownership of testing governance, KPIs, and SLAs

What you’ll need:

  • Strong UAT experience in a financial services environment
  • Payments & Liquidity domain knowledge – this is mandatory, not a nice-to-have
  • Hands-on experience with E2E test automation (setup and maintenance, not just execution)
  • Exposure to non-functional testing – performance, security, accessibility
  • Confident stakeholder management and communication at all levels

Contract details:

  • Salary: £80,000 – £90,000 per annum (Inside IR35)
  • Location: Glasgow – 3 days in the office per week
  • Duration: 6 months
  • Classification: Inside IR35 (via employment company)

If this sounds like your world, drop me a message or apply directly. Happy to have a conversation about the detail.
