Unleash Your Leadership Potential: Head of Technical Testing at RS Group

RS Group is presenting a compelling opportunity for an experienced and strategic leader to join their team as the Head of Technical Testing. This pivotal role offers the chance to shape and expand critical Pre-Production Testing capabilities within both Digital and Engineering functions. If you're passionate about driving quality, embracing innovation, and building high-performing teams, this could be your next career milestone.

Key Advantages for Potential Candidates:

  • Strategic Impact: You will not just manage, but truly own the global strategy for key testing pillars, including Test Automation, Performance Testing, Application Security Testing, and Infrastructure Testing. This is a chance to leave your strategic imprint on the organization.
  • Growth and Development: The Technical Test Team is poised for significant growth. This means you'll be instrumental in building the future structure, defining the people plan, and cultivating new capabilities. Your leadership will directly influence the expansion and success of this function.
  • Innovation at its Core: This role actively encourages the assessment and integration of new technologies, including AI, to drive efficiency and elevate testing outcomes. You'll be at the forefront of modern testing practices.
  • Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy the benefits of a hybrid work model, with the option to be based in either Corby or London, offering a balance between in-office collaboration and remote flexibility.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Beyond standard benefits expected from an FTSE listed company, RS Group offers a forward-thinking approach to employee well-being. This includes enhanced family-friendly policies, robust support for health conditions, neurodiversity, women's health, LGBTQ+ inclusivity, and expanded fertility coverage.
  • Purpose-Driven Culture: RS Group is committed to "making amazing happen for a better world." You'll be joining an organization with a clear purpose, a rich history of problem-solving, and a strong commitment to ESG principles.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Hands-On Leadership: While strategic, this role requires a hands-on understanding of modern testing practices. You'll be expected to leverage your deep knowledge of tools and techniques across UI, API, contract, unit, performance, security, and infrastructure testing.
  • Team Building and Mentorship: Leading a team of 6, with anticipated expansion, means you'll be actively recruiting, developing, and mentoring talent. Your ability to foster a high-performing, collaborative team culture will be crucial.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Success in this role hinges on strong collaboration with various stakeholders across the business. You'll need to effectively communicate technical concepts, influence outcomes, and ensure quality and consistency across teams.
  • Driving Zero Production Impacts: The primary objective is to ensure high-quality test outcomes with zero production impacts. This requires a relentless focus on automation, efficiency, and seamless transitions.
  • Translating Technical to Business: A key skill is the ability to translate complex technical challenges and solutions into tangible business outcomes and value.

This Head of Technical Testing position at RS Group is an exceptional opportunity for a seasoned professional looking to make a significant impact, drive innovation, and grow within a supportive and purpose-driven global organization.
