IT Test Analyst I

IT Test Analyst I (Contract)

We are seeking an IT Test Analyst I to support a CRM implementation for Talent Acquisition. This role will contribute throughout the project lifecycle by helping validate system design and ensuring high-quality delivery through strong testing execution and documentation. The project is expected to run through February 2027, though the duration may adjust depending on project requirements. This opportunity is well suited for a professional with 1–4 years of experience who is early in their career and looking to build project experience.

The role is not entry level and will focus primarily on testing and documentation activities. Approximately 70% of the work will involve testing, including creating and executing test scripts, validating results, and submitting tests. The remaining 30% will focus on consolidating global documentation into technical requirements and updating process documentation and workbooks. Initial stages of the project have already been completed, and this role does not include requirements gathering. The manager is seeking a data-driven, detail-oriented candidate who can work independently in a testing-focused environment.
