Overview:

The Functional Testing Manager is responsible for ensuring that Enterra's solution offerings comply with functional requirements and provide an exceptional experience and value to end users. This role leads functional testing strategy and execution for Enterra's client-facing solutions; delivering robust, reliable outcomes for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) customers—especially across Enterra's Revenue Growth Optimization (RGO) solutions. The role partners closely with Client Services, Product Management, Engineering, Data, and Release Management/DevOps to define testing strategy, drive test planning and execution (manual and automated), and provide clear quality reporting across releases.

What You'll Do:

As a Functional Testing Manager, you will:

• Own and enforce functional testing standards across products and releases supporting Client Services delivery, including defining test approach, scope, entry/exit criteria, and release readiness gates.
• Plan, execute, and manage functional testing for releases, covering test scheduling, environment readiness, test data setup, and daily progress reporting.
• Develop and maintain test artifacts including test plans, test cases, and test scripts (manual and automated) with strong coverage of trade promotion and price planning workflows. Note that there is a strong desire to increase automated testing.
• Partner with Client Services to support client-facing testing activities, including UAT planning, test evidence collection, defect triage, and release notes validation, ensuring delivered functionality meets contractual and business expectations.
• Define and review requirements by analyzing user stories and functional specifications early to identify gaps or ambiguities and ensure testable, measurable requirements.
• Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering to translate requirements into clear, testable acceptance criteria, validating edge cases common in the trade promotion and price planning process (timing, eligibility, hierarchy, customer/channel rules, calculations).
• Lead test automation initiatives by implementing and evolving UI/API test suites and integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to protect critical trade promotion workflows and reduce regression risk.
• Drive defect resolution, owning triage and prioritization with stakeholders, providing clear reproduction steps and impact analysis, verifying fixes, and performing root-cause analysis using Jira (or similar) to prevent recurrence.
