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. 

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. 

Please note this is not a traditional software QA position and prior QA experience is not required. 

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience required).
• Demonstrated domain expertise in Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), with a strong focus in Revenue Growth Management and Optimization (RGM / RGO), trade promotion, and price planning and analysis.
• Strong business partnering skills with internal and external stakeholders.
• Focus on product delivery and business outcomes.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills; ability to perform root-cause analysis and drive corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives. 

• 3-5 years of professional experience in software product quality assurance (QA), including ownership of functional test planning and release readiness.
• Foundational knowledge of QA methodologies, tools, and processes across the software development lifecycle (Agile/Scrum).
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining test automation (UI and/or API) using a modern framework (e.g., Playwright, Selenium).
• Ability to define and report quality metrics (test coverage, defect trends, release readiness) and communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to create clear documentation (test strategy, test plans, audit-ready evidence where needed) and ensure adherence to defined quality standards.
  Proficiency with common QA and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, test case management tools) and Microsoft Office suite.

• Experience working with Microsoft Azure services and infrastructure; familiarity with Azure DevOps pipelines and integrating automated tests.
• Experience testing data-heavy or AI-driven applications
• ISTQB (or similar) certification.
• Experience with Snowflake Intelligence Solution.
