What you will be doing:

The E2E Test Manager is responsible for end-to-end testing of product implementations with focus on high implementation quality, accelerated project timeline, and transparent reporting across the project stakeholders. This will be inclusive of functional, performance, and security testing of the product implementation in the client environment. E2E Test Managers will need to coordinate with the FIS implementation team, the development organization as necessary, as well as the test automation teams to devise E2E test strategy for clients. They will also be responsible for participating in client go/no go decisions. The end-to-end test manager evaluates project risk constantly and ensures that risks are brought to stakeholder's attention and relevant mitigation strategies are put in place. The person will serve as a final alignment step between business stakeholders, the client, and FIS implementation teams on quality and scope of the implementations.
