We are looking for an IT Test Manager for one of our clients, a leading private bank, for a 100% workload contract role based in Luxembourg.

In this role, you will take ownership of the end‑to‑end test management across complex IT and core banking initiatives. You will define and drive the overall test strategy, clarify and formalise requirements, estimate testing efforts, and ensure risk‑based prioritisation across projects and change requests.

From planning through execution, you will coordinate SIT, UAT and regression testing, manage test environments and data, and work closely with development, requirements engineering, IT operations and business stakeholders.

You will also be responsible for governance, reporting, go/no‑go recommendations and the continuous improvement of testing processes and quality gates.

If you bring strong experience as an IT Test Manager within financial services, ideally with exposure to core banking platforms such as Temenos T24 / Transact, along with solid knowledge of regression portfolio management, test and defect tools (JIRA, Xray) and agile environments, this is an excellent opportunity to work in a highly professional, international setting.

Are you an experienced Project Manager?

Do you have experience governing Business Projects within banking or payment industry?

We are looking for an experienced Project / Solution Manager (Hybrid & Agile) for one of our clients in Zurich, Switzerland, to join the Solution Management & Business Projects team in a permanent position.

You will step into a well‑established environment, with enough room to shape the future rather than having to “move every mountain yourself”.

In this role, you will lead hybrid projects (classic and scaled agile) from planning through to handover into operations. You will manage scope, cost, timelines and quality, work closely with product owners, ARTs and RTEs, and ensure that requirements are prioritised and refined in line with business objectives. You will coordinate a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, coach and lead cross‑functional teams, remove impediments and actively support continuous improvement and efficiency.

If you have several years of hands‑on project management experience, feel confident working in Scrum, Kanban and SAFe environments, and enjoy bringing structure to complex, interconnected topics, this is an excellent opportunity. A background in the financial or payment industry is an advantage, as is a solid understanding of software development and enterprise architectures.

Fluent German (C2) and business‑level English are essential.

You can expect a dynamic team, meaningful projects with real impact, and the chance to grow into a key role within the organisation.

Start date: client is ready to wait, even for longer notice periods.
