UAT Lead (SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud)

• Guildford, 4 days onsite
• Contract, Inside IR35
• MUST BE ELIGIBLE FOR SC CLEARANCE checks

This is a live SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud rollout, already moving, already complex, and at the point where testing either gives the business confidence, or quietly exposes the cracks. They need someone who can take control of that process properly, not just coordinate it.

You ll own UAT end to end. The expectation is simple, when the business signs off, it s because you ve made sure the system actually works in the real world, not just in a test script.

You ll be the one bringing structure, clarity, and a bit of realism to how testing is approached. Working directly with business users, you ll shape scenarios and scripts that reflect how things genuinely operate day to day. You ll make sure integrations, edge cases, security, and access controls are properly covered, and that test data is usable rather than an afterthought.

Day to day, you ll run UAT, keep things moving, and manage the schedule alongside the wider programme. You ll get the right people involved at the right time, keep stakeholders aligned, and deal with defects properly, not just logging them, but challenging them, prioritising them, and driving resolution with the system integrator.

You ll also own reporting, documentation, and the path to sign-off, keeping everything structured, audit-ready, and transparent, while calling out risks before they become problems.

What they re looking for

• Proven experience leading UAT on ERP programmes, ideally SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud
• Someone who has owned UAT end to end, not just supported it
• Comfortable working with business users, project teams, and system integrators
• Confident enough to challenge when things don t stack up
• Strong organisation without slowing delivery down
• Clear communicator who can keep stakeholders aligned
• Calm under pressure when timelines tighten and defects build up

Skills and background

• Experience within SAP environments, ideally S/4HANA Public Cloud
• Strong understanding of UAT processes, defect management, and test governance
• Comfortable with tools like Excel, Project, and standard test platforms
• Able to manage competing priorities without losing control of delivery
• Degree or similar background helpful, but not essential

The reality of the role
This is an onsite-heavy role, expect to be in Guildford most of the week. You ll be working across multiple business functions with different priorities and there will be pressure as testing ramps up.

You ll need to bring structure without becoming a blocker. Easier said than done, which is exactly why they re being selective.
