About The Position

Seeking a hands-on UAT Tester with strong manual testing experience, ideally within payments. This role focuses on validating applications that support international payments, cross-currency transactions, and global branch operations. The ideal candidate is execution-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable working directly with business and technology teams to ensure high-quality releases. This is not a coordination or oversight role—this team needs someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, writing test scripts, executing test cases, and driving defects to closure.

Requirements

Proficiency in user acceptance testing.
Ability to communicate complex information to non-technical executives.
A minimum of 3 years of relevant enterprise experience.
3–7+ years of experience in UAT or manual QA testing.
Strong experience testing payments, ideally including international payments or cross-currency workflows.
Proven ability to write detailed test scripts and execute manual test cases.
Hands-on experience with JIRA for test management and defect tracking.
Familiarity with QA processes, test methodologies, and defect lifecycle management.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to understand complex business rules and translate them into test scenarios.
Excellent communication skills and the confidence to ask questions, clarify requirements, and escalate issues.
Must be execution-focused—comfortable doing the testing work rather than leading or delegating.

Nice To Haves

Experience in large enterprise or financial environments (not required but helpful).
Exposure to payment rails, SWIFT, cross-border transactions, or settlement processes.
Understanding of UAT best practices in regulated industries.

Log, track, and manage defects using JIRA, collaborating with product owners, developers, and business SMEs.
Participate in requirement reviews, test planning sessions, and UAT readiness checkpoints.
Ensure test coverage aligns with business scenarios, regulatory expectations, and operational needs.
