Location: Cambridge - Hybrid

Contract: Fixed Term/Secondment (12 months)

Are you passionate about quality and driven by the satisfaction of getting systems right before they reach users? Join us as a UAT Technician and play a key role in delivering high quality digital products that support learners, educators and institutions around the world.

We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.

Reporting to the UAT Manager, you will be part of a team responsible for carrying out the UAT for applications developed across many of the organisation's initiatives, which include computer based testing, e learning and web based stakeholder support systems.

This will involve the detailed preparation and execution of test cases for the various applications across different environments, the logging of defects and reporting to project stakeholders on testing progress.

As a User Acceptance Testing Technician, you will also be required to liaise with project managers and developers to ensure that defects are categorised, prioritised and resolved within agreed timescales.

This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend % of their time collaborating and connecting face to face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long term health condition.

You bring a strong understanding of structured test methods and processes, with proven experience applying formal methodologies such as V Model, Agile, and Waterfall in practice. You are technically confident, with a solid grounding in IT and the ability to work effectively within an MS Windows environment. Your knowledge extends to database and website technologies, enabling you to approach challenges with a well rounded technical perspective.

You thrive in collaborative, fast paced environments and enjoy being part of a close knit team, where you can contribute positively under pressure. Alongside your technical expertise, you demonstrate a strong customer focused mindset, ensuring quality and service remain at the forefront of your work. With excellent attention to detail and a proactive, enthusiastic approach, you take pride in delivering accurate, high quality outcomes.

If you meet the above minimum requirements, we encourage you to apply. Your application will be even stronger if you can also demonstrate the following desirable criteria:

• Experience in using JIRA, Qtest or similar test management software
• Formal software testing or computing related qualification, along with previous work experience in an IT support or software testing environment.

Please note that Cambridge University Press & Assessment will not ordinarily be able to provide sponsorship for vacancies of less than 12 months in duration. Applicants must therefore have an existing right to work in the UK to be eligible for this position.
