To simplify banking, we’ve developed an all-inclusive banking solution. Global One is the one solution that enables you to transact, save and access credit in realtime. We also believe in harnessing the power of technology to make each interaction easier and simpler. We do everything we can to ensure that our clients have access to transparent and affordable banking services. When you bank with us, there are no hidden costs. We’re committed to making sure that you have a clear understanding of exactly what you're paying for. Why shouldn’t you have access to your cash when and where you want it? Whether you prefer Remote Banking, ATM transacting, drawing cash from tills at your local supermarket or coming into one of our branches, the way you access you cash is entirely up to you.

We are part of a product-focused technology team working on high-impact digital journeys, including credit and lending products used by millions of clients. Our broader team includes software engineers, test analysts, system analysts and operations specialists. In this role, you will directly lead four testers, with a strong mandate to modernise how testing works across the team.

Why this role is different

• You will work on products that matter at national scale, where quality directly affects people's lives.
• We trust our leaders to lead — to shape direction, develop people and make thoughtful decisions.
• We value collaboration, learning and steady progress over noise or hierarchy.

What we're looking for

• Solid experience in software testing, covering both manual and automated testing.
• Hands-on experience with test automation, including scripting and modern automation tools.
• At least one year of experience leading or managing a testing team.
• A strong understanding of the full software delivery lifecycle and where testing adds the most value.
• The ability to create clear test plans and guide others through them.
• Confident communication and a calm, structured approach to problem-solving.
• A relevant tertiary qualification in information technology or a related field.
