SAP Test Manager Jobs in Woodstock

Please note: this listing expires in 5 days, so do not leave your application to the last minute.

A client based in Cape Town is looking for a SAP Test Manager to join its team on a contract basis, working on an ECC to S/4HANA transformation programme. The role is advertised through QE Services, and it is listed in Woodstock, in the IT and finance space.

About the company and the work

The employer is a client of QE Services based in Cape Town, and the work centres on a large SAP transformation: moving from ECC to S/4HANA. That kind of programme touches finance, supply chain, logistics, sales and procurement processes, so testing is not a side activity here — it is the safeguard that decides whether the business can go live safely and keep running afterwards. QE Services, the agency advertising the role, is an established IT recruitment agency with more than 20 years of combined recruitment experience in the IT industry, catering mainly for the temporary services market, with a wide and varied client base. Its stated mission is to deliver the staff and service its clients expect, and exciting opportunities for its candidates.

Role details and duties

The SAP Test Manager will own testing for the transformation programme from end to end. The duties named in the advert are:

• Define and manage the overall testing strategy for the ECC to S/4HANA transformation programme
• Establish testing governance, quality standards, processes and controls
• Develop test plans, schedules, resource plans, reporting and quality gates
• Lead SIT, UAT, regression, end-to-end, data migration, integration, security and cutover testing
• Manage testing across SAP S/4HANA, ECC, Fiori and integrated third-party systems
• Lead data migration testing, reconciliation and validation between ECC and S/4HANA
• Validate business-critical SAP processes and system functionality following migration
• Manage Test Leads, SAP Test Analysts, Business Testers and implementation partners
• Coordinate testing across multiple workstreams and manage dependencies and risks
• Lead defect triage, tracking and resolution
• Provide testing status, risks and readiness reporting to senior stakeholders
• Lead cutover rehearsals, production verification testing and hypercare validation
• Ensure quality and testing activities support successful go-live and business continuity

Please also note the location wording: the listing header places the role in Woodstock, while the advert body describes the client as based in Cape Town. Confirm the exact work base on the original advert before you apply. The listing position field reads Contract Intermediate, even though the role itself calls for many years of test leadership experience — another detail worth confirming with the advertiser.

The advert sets out the following qualifications, experience and competencies, and only these are listed here:

• 10+ years’ experience in Software Testing and Quality Assurance
• 5+ years’ experience in a Test Management or Test Leadership role

• Experience with data migration, reconciliation and validation
• Experience with cutover testing, go-live readiness and post-go-live and hypercare validation
• Experience across SAP business processes such as Finance, Supply Chain, Logistics, Sales and Procurement (the visible advert text cuts off at this point, so check the original advert for the full wording)
• Retail, FMCG, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Distribution or Logistics experience would be advantageous
• Strong understanding of SAP Activate methodology would be advantageous
• Strong leadership and team management skills; strategic and analytical thinking; excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; strong SAP transformation and testing knowledge; risk management and problem-solving skills; strong decision-making skills; vendor and Systems Integrator management; ability to manage multiple workstreams and competing priorities; strong attention to detail, particularly around data integrity and reconciliation; ability to work effectively under pressure and meet programme deadlines; conflict resolution and influencing skills; strong planning, organisation and reporting skills; ability to lead and coach testing teams

The desired skills named on the listing are SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC, Testing, Management Accounts, Software Testing, and End-to-End and Regression Testing. No salary figure is shown in this post because the listing states the pay as undisclosed. The vacancy was posted on 28 October 2026 and no reference number is shown on the listing.

Where to find and apply safely

Use the Apply button on this page. It takes you to the original CareerJunction advert for this exact vacancy, where you can apply through the advertiser’s own process. Apply only through that original listing, and be cautious of anyone who contacts you about this role from a different channel, asks for payment, or asks for sensitive personal or banking details before any interview. A genuine job application never requires you to pay a fee to be considered.

Practical tips

This is a senior, evidence-based role, so your application should read like a programme record, not a list of tools. Lead with your ECC to S/4HANA migration experience, name the scale of the programmes you have tested, and give concrete examples of SIT, UAT, regression, data migration and cutover testing you have led. If you have led defect triage, reported readiness to senior stakeholders, or run hypercare validation, say so plainly. Mention SAP Activate knowledge and any retail, FMCG, manufacturing or logistics exposure, since the advert names both as advantageous.

How the process works

After you apply through the original advert, QE Services will review your application against the client’s requirements for this transformation programme. The advert invites candidates who are ready for the next step in their career to apply, and the agency will then be in touch about the next stage if your profile matches. Because the listing expires in 5 days, expect the process to move quickly.
