As Lead Test Manager, you will be part of defining and driving Nordic RCC’s overall test strategy, ensuring consistent, high-quality testing across complex business-critical systems. You adhere to clear principles for test management, risk-based testing, and test automation, embedding them across programmes and product teams. You provide technical knowledge and guidance on how quality and testing enable reliable releases and operational stability, and you act as a trusted advisor to the Manager of Quality Management, as well as stakeholders, on test coverage, quality risks, and release readiness. Through clear direction and collaboration, you promote a strong test and quality culture aligned with regulatory, security, and operational requirements.

You facilitate lessons learned and improvements across teams and deliveries, ensuring that insights are turned into concrete actions. You work closely with management, providing advise on how to adapt and change the ways of working to increase value creation. By continuously evolving risk-based testing and automation practices, you ensure testing remains efficient, scalable, and aligned with industry best practice.
D. Key Deliveries
You coordinate and drive the test activities, through the ways of working, framework and team structure developed in collaboration with management. You ensure clear prioritisation and actionable path of delivery, foster good and efficient collaboration across the team with a strong focus on quality and accountability, supported by management.

On a personal level, you are open-minded, team oriented, take responsibility, and aim to build trust. You are structured and appreciate a fast-paced environment from time to time. You have a curious and open-minded approach to challenges with good human understanding, and you are able to navigate across different layers of abstraction, combining strategic thinking with low-level technical insights. You are proactive, analytic, positive and result oriented with a structured approach to your work and familiar with working in diverse cultures.
Ideally, you have 5 years or more of relevant work experience, with previous experience as a Test or Quality manager is considered a strong advantage. Master’s degree with a focus on software and quality assurance is preferred.

Nordic RCC context
Nordic RCC is established by EU regulation. Our main task is not to identify new profit optimizing services, but to continuously develop services according to legal requirements in a way which adds value to our service recipients (TSOs) and, in the end, to Nordic societies.
This makes the stakeholder environment that Nordic RCC works in complex and sometime political, but also highly motivating and engaging, as we are all generally focused on value creation for society in a time where electricity is in focus (security of supply, prices, and energy transition).
We are looking for a candidate who is motivated by this. The candidate is not expected to grasp the complexity and the content of the core business in advance. This understanding will develop over time, and depending on the wishes of the candidate, there will be opportunities for training in the energy systems, markets, etc.
