We are looking for a highly skilled Senior / Lead Automation Tester to join our Johannesburg-based consulting team on an initial 6?month contract. This role requires an experienced professional who is both technically hands-on and capable of leading, coordinating, and mentoring a team of junior testers.

The successful person will take full ownership of their deliverables as well as the team’s output, ensuring a high standard of quality across all testing initiatives.

What you'll do:

• Lead and mentor a team of junior and intermediate automation testers.
• Coordinate testing activities and ensure alignment with project timelines and quality standards.
• Design, build, and maintain robust automation frameworks.
• Drive high-quality test automation practices across the team.
