Test Analyst | Melbourne

About the role

This is a quality assurance role that actually owns something, rather than just executing a test plan someone else wrote.

You'll be responsible for the test strategy and approach across an internal application portfolio, with the scope expanding once a new Dynamics 365 CRM platform goes live. Day to day, you'll be designing, executing and managing manual and functional testing, working closely with developers and product teams to understand requirements and catch issues early.

You'll define what good testing looks like here and build the standards, processes and structure to support it. Over time there's room to grow the team's automation capability, but the core of this role is solid, hands-on functional testing and quality ownership.


What you'll be doing

• Designing, documenting and executing manual and functional test cases for internal web applications
• Working closely with developers and product teams throughout the development lifecycle to understand requirements and surface testing needs early
• Extending testing into the Dynamics 365 CRM platform once live, covering functional, regression and integration testing
• Owning quality gates and release readiness, including go/no-go decision input based on risk
• Establishing and documenting testing standards, processes and defect management workflows
• Acting as the quality assurance point of contact for the team, mentoring others in good testing practice
• Contributing to and growing the team's test automation capability over time

What you'll bring

• Solid hands-on experience designing and executing manual and functional test cases
• Experience testing modern web applications, ideally single-page apps built in Vue.js or a comparable framework
• Comfortable with SQL for test data preparation and validation
• A track record of owning a testing function, not just contributing to one, including setting standards and structured testing approaches
• Strong communication skills, you can explain test results and quality risk clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Exposure to automation tools such as Leapwork, Playwright, Cypress or Selenium is a nice to have, but not essential
• Dynamics 365 testing experience is highly regarded

Experience and qualifications

• Minimum 7 years in software testing or quality assurance, including experience leading or owning testing activities
• Tertiary qualification in Information Systems, Computer Science or equivalent industry experience
• A recognised testing certification such as ISTQB or CSTE is well regarded

Why this one's worth a look

This is a well-established, mission-driven organisation with a genuine sense of purpose behind the work. You'll have real autonomy to build the testing function the way you think it should work, rather than inheriting someone else's approach, and a clear path to grow your remit as the application portfolio expands.
