Product Owner

We are looking for an experienced Test Analyst / Test Engineer for one of our clients, a well‑established organisation operating in the core banking and payments domain. 
 
In this role, you will take ownership of test case design, analysis and documentation, creating high‑quality, detailed Xray test cases with strong coverage for both manual execution and future automation. You will translate complex functional and non‑functional requirements into clear, step‑by‑step test scenarios, including T24 navigation paths, user roles and access rights, data setup and environment specifics. Your work will ensure that testing is structured, traceable and automation‑ready from day one. 
 
You will work closely with requirements engineers and business stakeholders to understand end‑to‑end product life cycles and reflect real business processes in your test specifications. A key part of your role will be reviewing and maintaining the existing test portfolio—identifying gaps, removing duplication and updating outdated scenarios to keep regression coverage robust and relevant. 
 
On the execution side, you will implement the agreed test strategy, set up test environments and data, execute tests in line with defined test cases, and clearly document defects and test evidence. You will analyse product risks to define appropriate test depth and provide transparency on residual risks to stakeholders. 
 
Collaboration is central to this role. You will coordinate closely with test automation engineers to ensure that documented test cases can be automated without rework, provide clear test reports, and support the smooth handover of project test cases into the regression suite within sprint timelines. 
 
This is an exciting opportunity for a detail‑oriented testing professional who enjoys working at the intersection of business, technology and quality, and who wants to have a real impact on complex banking systems.
