We’re seeking an experienced Test Lead to plan and lead integration, system and end-to-end testing across business, functional and technical domains. You’ll lead a vibrant team spread across Belgium, France, Poland and India, united by shared goals and great teamwork.
Your day-to-day mission:
Ensure requirements testability by collaborating with analysts and developers on clear acceptance criteria and test scenarios, using practices such as Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD) and Test-Driven Development (TDD).
Define and run a risk‑based test approach.
Ensure consistency of test approach and automation practices across the initiative.
Lead end‑to‑end testing and release readiness for complex, multi‑squad initiatives coordinating testing activities with junior testers and peers and acting as the escalation point for test‑related issues.
Report progress, risks and readiness to stakeholders and escalate impediments when needed.
Manage dependencies, risks and test‑related trade‑offs across delivery streams.
Lead and participate in continuous improvement initiatives.
What you need to have to succeed in this role:
Extensive knowledge of structured testing practices: planning, execution, evidence and reporting.
Solid experience leading functional IT testing and standard test automation, embedding TDD and BDD practices.
Ability to design, execute and maintain automated tests and interpret results.
Proficiency with test management and reporting tools such as Azure DevOps.
Advanced analytical skills to extract and interpret complex information.
Proven experience handling complex testing scopes involving multiple teams.

Ability to coordinate across stakeholders and adapt to changing priorities.
Strong command of English, both written and spoken.
Familiarity with IBM Mainframe (PL/1, SQL DB2, MQ, CICS, JCL, VSAM, XML).
CI/CD and test management toolchain (e.g. Azure DevOps, Git, Artifactory).
Distributed, platform and integration landscapes (APIs, data, messaging).
What makes you stand out:
Experience leading testing for large or complex initiatives.
Strong ability to coordinate across teams, domains and stakeholders.
Recognised as a trusted reference for quality and release readiness.
Motivation to grow toward broader testing leadership roles.
Cloud & distributed systems expertise (APIs, messaging, data pipelines) with strong judgment on Cloud and AI‑driven quality risks influencing release readiness.
Proven ability to shape test strategies for cloud platforms, balancing functional and non‑functional needs while guiding go‑live decisions through risk‑based insights.
Hands‑on use of AI‑powered testing tools to accelerate automation, expand coverage, and surface actionable quality risks for stakeholders.
Experience working within Agile frameworks.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences. If you meet most of the requirements and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply.
