Data Test Analyst - Newcastle

The business world is changing rapidly. The way we live is changing. The pandemic has only intensified and diversified the nature of change. As a business solutions company, we respond to that change with innovation so we can continue to meet the needs of our customers. How do we do that? We use data. And we interpret it with ingenuity and empathy. We can see things from the customer's point of view. And that is where you come in.

As a Data Test Analyst, you are all about QA. You will know the processes involved that always produce the best, most insightful test data. Working across a range of projects, you will be deeply involved at every stage of the testing schedule, starting with drawing up the schedule itself. Then there's planning, executing, recording results, and then casting an inquisitive eye over the whole process to see where we could improve to make our testing metrics even more effective. More accurate. More automated. More acute.

How are you able to do all that? Well, firstly because you are a flexible multi-tasker. But more importantly, it's because you take a team approach. That's how we work at Sage. We solve diverse, multifaceted problems by responding in kind - with the diverse talents of our team. Your talents will be part of that - sharing your knowledge and learn more that you thought possible. It's that exchange that makes Sage, our products, and our people special. You learn - we learn. You're flexible - we're flexible. You achieve - we achieve. We're proud to offer permanent flexible working for all our colleagues. That's why you'll build a great career at Sage.
