Program Test Manager

Australia-wide | Remote

Tarkine Consulting is working with a general insurer that's mid-way through migrating its personal lines (motor and home) book onto Duck Creek, alongside a significant ownership change with a major insurance partner. We're looking to engage a Program Test Manager to lead test strategy and delivery across the program.

The role

You'll own program-level test strategy and governance across the Duck Creek platform – Policy, Rating, Billing, Claims and Clarity – while also picking up a genuine data migration and financial reconciliation stream created by the parallel ownership change. You'll be coordinating multiple delivery partners and senior stakeholders across more than one organisation, reporting into a program office spanning both sides of the relationship.

Responsibilities typically include:

• Owning program-level test strategy, governance and planning across the Duck Creek platform (Policy, Rating, Billing, Claims, Clarity)
• Leading test delivery across a genuine data migration and financial reconciliation stream
• Coordinating multiple delivery partners, vendors and internal teams across more than one organisation
• Reporting test status, risk and readiness at program and steering-committee level
• Driving defect management, release readiness and go-live assurance
• Building and leading a test function across a multi-vendor delivery model

What we're looking for

• Proven Program Test Manager experience on large-scale, multi-vendor delivery programs
• Direct experience with Duck Creek in a general insurance environment
• Experience testing platform migrations, technology carve-outs, or large-scale system separations
• Comfort operating across executive and steering-committee stakeholders
• Strong general insurance domain knowledge (policy, billing, claims)

Engagement

• 18 month+ contract
• Genuinely open to remote work, wherever you're based in Australia
• Well-established program with a clear delivery roadmap
• Market-competitive day rate

If you're a Program Test Manager with genuine Duck Creek delivery experience, and you're comfortable operating at the intersection of a platform build and a major ownership change, we'd like to hear from you.
